Definition of Self Confidence
To be sure of yourself and your own abilities and to believe or have faith in your personal ability to figure out and solve whatever problems or circumstances that come your way.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Elsie was a watcher, a spectator, an observer. During her school days, she was the nerdy girl in pigtails and glasses, sitting at the back of the class. If she could have blended into the classroom furniture, she probably would have! Elsie wouldn’t participate in class and never raised her hand to ask or to answer a question. She wouldn’t volunteer for anything, primarily because she didn’t want to attract any attention whatsoever to herself.
The “AHA” Moment
Reading books and having the right mentors helped her build more confidence and realize her true potential.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
While she has her bad days, Elsie gets to do what she loves which is being in fashion. She knows that everything is figureoutable and she knows what she is capable of.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
March to the beat of your own drums. Keep your own rhythm. Don’t ever be pressured into conforming to other people’s standards or surrender your dreams because other people are not confident of your success.
