The Importance of Self-confidence
（源自网络，仅供参考，自行甄别、核对）
From the quiet confident doctor whose advice we rely on, to the star-quality confidence of an inspiring speaker,self-confident people have qualities that everyone admires. Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives.
我们遵从医生的医嘱，我们受到演讲家的影响，这些拥有自信的人让我们羡慕不已。自信在生活的方方面面都非常重要。
First, it is impossible to do anything for real if you’re not self-confident. Most people are reluctant to back a project which is being taken by someone who is nervous, unsure and overly apologetic. On the other hand, people might be persuaded by someone who speaks clearly, who holds his or her head high, and who answers questions assuredly. In today’s world, self-confidence is a basis for our survival, both at work and at home. Self-confidence brings acceptance, love, peace and energy. And all of these in turn make our confidence grow even more.Second, self-confident people inspire confidence in others: their audience, theirpeers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. Oftentimes even a single self-confident person can change the attitudes of all the people in a room.
首先，如果我们缺少自信，我们将一事无成。绝大部分人都不愿意去支持一些人，这些人表现得非常不自信。另一方面，有些人讲话清楚明了，他们昂首挺胸，回答问题时很有说服力，我们很容易被这些人所说服。在今天的世界里，不论是在工作中还是在生活中，自信都是我们生存的基础。自信带给我们接受、爱、和平和能量。这些反过来也让我们更加自信。第二，拥有自信的人能将自信传递给他人，他们的观众、同龄人、老板、顾客以及朋友。有时，一个充满自信的人能将态度转播到整个屋子。
Sometimes it seems as if the world itself decided to help such a man. A confident person attracts friendship and respect. Spreading confidence to others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.
有时，全世界都在帮助那些有自信的人。充满自信的人能够获得友谊，以及别人的尊重。将自信传播给他人是成功的关键之一。
All other things being equal, self-confidence is so important that it is often the single ingredient that distinguishes a successful person from those who are less successful. Whether you are working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well worth the effort!
自信非常重要，以至于它通常是区分成功人士以及不成功者的唯一因素。不论是自己拥有自信，还是将自信传递给他人，这都值得一试。
