大学英语四六级晨读经典365春日激情篇83自信

　　83 Confidence 自信

　　Every day is a new day in our life.There is much to do today.The early morning sun inspires us to start things freshly and put back our past.Only a handful of us make use of this fresh bunch of energy.In various walis of life this affects the way we behave and our confidence level.Confidence is a key to survive in this world.It is the only key tool to win the rat race in every walk of life.Confidence in ones owns capabilities combined with sincere efforts help one to achieve unthinkable heights.　But many times we see that this basic element of confidence is missing in us. As a result of lack of confidence we perform well below our caliber.Be it in a public speech, proposing your beloved, visas for your college or in an interview or say even on the eve before your exams.This can be due to fear of being rejected or any other reason.

　　我们生活的每一天都是新的。每一个今天都是大有可为的。清晨，刚刚升起的太阳会激励我们丢下过往，去尝试所有新生的事物。然而，我们中只有少数人会利用这股更新的能量。在很多人生旅途中，它都将影响我们的行为方式和自信程度。自信是人们在世界上存活的关键。它也是人们走好人生每一步路的最为重要的依托。建立在才华基础上的自信再加上不懈的努力就可以使人们到达意想不到的高度。但是，我们经常看到我们当中的许多人正在丧失这种最根本的自信。由于缺乏自信，我们的表现远不能反映真实的能力。无论是在公共场合讲话，向自己喜欢的人表白还是大学里的口试或是一次求职面

　　试，甚至是在临考前的一个晚上，都是这样。而原因无外乎是害怕被拒绝」以及诸如此类。

　　If we look into our hearts and think, we will come to know that fear inside us I going to get us nowhere.The confidence inside us is going to take us places.This is because with confidence we can put our thoughts into words in a better and pleasing way.So we have to get out of that shell where we think whether people will accept us as we are?Instead of living in these unending moments of fear and thoughtless analysis, it is better if we project ourselves with the skills we have with the gloss of confidence.With confidence we can portray the finer points of our personality in such a way that the places where we do lack are never highlighted.

　　如果好好审视一下自己的内心认真地想一想，我们就会发现我们内心的恐惧不会给我们带来任何好处，而内心的自信则会让我们无往不胜。这是因为有了自信我们才能把自己的想法用一种更令人愉快的方式表达出来。所以我们一定要跳出总想着别人是否会接受自己这个套笼。与其生活在这种无休止的恐惧和毫无根据的猜测中，不如带着自信，好好利用自己的才华为自己规划未来。有了自信;我们就可以表现出自己最精彩的一面，我们将自己最精彩的一面展现出来，还能够弥补不足之处。

　　Confidence should glow in us only till the point where our personality is boosted.Above this it leads to over-confidence that is harmful.

　　当我们的个性得到张扬的时候。就应该让自信适可而止。超过了这个界限，那就会导致有害的过度自信了。

　　Over-confidence results in unsatisfied performance levels as the seed of ego grows into a plant into our mind.We then imagine and make big talks just to maintain our ego.So guys dont let the seed of ego to germinate in your mind, as this seed should be used only for you to live up to your expectations.

　　当自我的种子在我们心里滋生的时候，过度自信会使我们永不满足。然后我们就会飘飘然说大话去自我满足。所以千万不要让自我的种子在你心里面扎根，所以只有当你是为了自己的期望而奋斗的时候，再动用这颗种子吧。

　　Confidence is all about being cool, calm and composed.So guys do you have it in you?If you think you dont,boost up yourselves as your mind is your greatest mentor.You are your greatest helper.

　　自信就意味着要冷静、沉着和镇定。你心里有自信吗?如果你觉得你没有，就赶紧给自己打打气吧，因为心灵才是你最伟大的导师，你才是自己最大的救星。
