"I’m grateful for anything that reminds me of what’s possible in this life. Books can do that. Films can do that. Music can do that. School can do that. It’s so easy to allow one day to simply follow into the next, but every once in a while we encounter something that shows us that anything is possible, that dramatic change is possible, that something new can be made, that laughter can be shared."

CONFIDENCE
CONFIDENCE.

Self confidence is one thing,
Over-confident is another.

Sometimes people are lack of self confidence,
But sometimes, people are being over confident.

We all need to be confident - able to speak up for ourselves, initiate to offer help to others, to interact with others, to speak up more too. And confidence, to me, are mostly from how you look at yourself base on, appearance.

Lets say X see himself as, ugly ? We all know "inner beauty, inner beauty", but how many people will really look at their own "inner beauty" ? At all times, when you see yourself as not nice in terms of appearance, you start to find yourself imperfect, and then gradually lose confidence in yourself. Then you will start to stay away from people, especially from the opposite sex. Too, not starting to dress yourself up, eg.clothing / make up ?

Wouldn't even care about how to protect your skin, how to match your top and bottom, lazy to learn about these, whole day lie on the sofa eating chips keeping yourself at home so that you can avoid from seeing people outside. - "What for ? Since I'm already ugly". Now, its really "ugly", 因为世界上只有懒女人,没有丑女人. x)

On the other hand, if someone see herself as PRETTY. She speak up more for herself, learn to be sociable. She have the confidence in herself and she interacts with others.

BUT, sometimes, people think that they are almost perfect, they are the best, they know almost everything, they start to "teach people a lesson" whenever they see anyone doing anything not right to them. They start to preach, finding themselves cool.

HOWEVER,


EVEN IF consisting of the looks, the intelligence, but definitely do not have the right to affront someone whom to you, is "ugly" or no better than you. By attacking on his/her dignity, you are actually showing others how boastful can you be, thinking you're the best of all ? Sometimes, do try to be humble.

BEFORE speaking something that stinks out of your mouth, think about yourself, indeed, some people are not comparable to you, but there ARE people who think you are not comparable to them, no one is perfect, no one is the best, everyone of us has different views. Sometimes some people do look nice, pretty, beautiful, attractive, yet they do not consist of good personality.

Sometimes some people know that they have confidence,
and they know having confidence in themselves is a good thing.


Haven't they realise that it was over-confidence ?
