this Q made me think.u r right.. confidence is something when u can be happy of what u have done in ur life till date.. and ur parents are proud of it. it doesnt mean always to win.. but also includes helping someone who needs it.. u see. there r many ways in which an individual can be considered confident..\n\nas u mentioned, that surgeon is confident , as i think. he seems to be mature. he doesnt show off to the world. he is contented with his life and is glad with what he has done with his life..he just concentrates on his work and is to-the point..\n\nalthough, confidence is very subjective.. it depends on how everyone is brought up, thinking (attitude) and their lifestyle.. etc.\n\n:-)

I used to be a nervous wreck, until one day I thaugh to myself: 'I am the only ME on earth. Life is too short to be so nervous.Life should be lived to the optimum.' Look at the most successful people in the world, they stink of confidence. So what's it gonna be, you're either awinner or a loser.

The link between confidence and acting has always been of interest to social commentators and observers.\nThis is because many people say that the best way to be confident if you're naturally not is to act confident - and gradually that confidence will become real.\nIndeed some outgoing and popular people sometimes confide in others that its 'not really them' and that it's an act that they decided to put on.\nThis means, therefore, that the best way to be confident is to act 'as if' you were confident, until you actually become confident.\nNote the way in which someone confident acts, then simply look to emulate their behavioural features, and you should find that people treat you like you are confident - and what does that do? Boost your confidence!

Start giving yourself Brownie points for every good choice you make. Confidence and self-esteem are earned, nobody is born just possessing them. Every time you make someone smile, remind yourself that you have that ability. Do your work honestly and well. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Give others sincere compliments and don't always expect others to set your standards of decency or to make you happy. Remember, you're not transparent. People can't tell how you're feeling. Eventually, feeling confident will become second nature. But above all, be kind to yourself and others. And just have fun!

so many things can shake a woman's confidence (for some of us anyway), too many glances, the 'wrong kind' of glance, a vague sensation that something is not right...\n\nSpending those few extra minutes 'taking a powder' to make sure we look our best restores confidence.\n\nAs for physical beauty, if you ain't born with it you certainly ain't going to buy it.\n\n(says she who once said of the human resources director "She looks like a million dollars. In used notes." before thinking what she had said. To a senior member of staff.)

From experience I have to say confidence.\nLast year I had to go for an interview for a Young Achievers Award. I didn't realise it was that day so I turned up utterly unprepared, but after using a few anecdotes and talking big about politics and art, I got the prize for best artist 13-16 years in my area!\nWhen I went for my first job interview, the manager didn't even look at my school marks, just asked me what I thought about how well I could do the job and be friendly with customers.

Yes, definitely.\nI'm not the world's most confident person myself, but you grow in confidence with experience.\nPut me in a crowded room full of adults and will feel edgy and uncomfortable, but put me in a classroom, and I am loud, proud and confident. That's why I am now senior management - \nTake the plunge and go for it, you will grow and develop the longer you do the job.\nHope this helps!

There are a few simple things that you can do to boost your confidence quite easily.\nThe first is to make a list of all your strong points: write down all the things about you that are good and strong. If you need help, don't be shy to ask others to comment on your strong areas for you.\nKeep this list with you at all times, and pin a copy by your bed so that you can look at it first thing in the morning and when you go to bed, to make you feel great first and last thing every day of the week.\nThis is such a simple tip but it works really well.

There is nothing wrong with being confident about ur abilities, but being vain is wrong. When ur vain, ur putting others down and thinking too much of urself. Being over-confident is bad too, bc u might just be too delirious to notice the limitations of ur abilties.
