Confidence

posted by ryan

Confidence is to have full trust or belief in oneself and one’s abilities, it is the assurance that a person display that the audience believed the person/speaker completely. It is the trust and the faith in a person or thing.

It is a belief and trust of self-confidence that helps individuals complete any task at work, in school or in business. In the world of animals and man together with other living organism, it is all about survival and confidence. Without self-confidence, life will not be passed on.

Man animals and other organisms are similar in various ways. They during the mating season/period will display their respective own skills, strengths and beauty to ward off other competitors to attract a mating partner. Fending off competitors means to display their strength first and gauge the possibility of winning before making getting into physical action.

Like a monkey, first accessing his rivals before fighting, the winner who emerges victorious will have the rights to mate with the female. The loser will either stay within the group of the monkey than helping to keep a look out for any external treats as a scout if not leave or find another group to find a mating partner.

How man mate is whereby both the male and female shows confidence of themselves via their own respective abilities. For male, standard guide will be wealth, home, money, financial security which will never get out-dated.

Females on the other hand display that they have the figure, motherly instincts like care and concern or interest plus developed assets both mentally and physically.

Mating is a showcase of easy way of displaying self-confidence via actions, speech and other factors. Business profits and deals are made based on their previous credentials, success rate, relevancy and return on investments before striking a deal.

In a presentation, if the speaker is weak in the sales pitch, soft voice, unable to help his audience share the same vision and dreams as the speaker to sing in the same cord, the speaker than fails the presentation giving the chance to his business rival.

The way we speak, talk, look, conduct ourselves, even walking display the level of confidence that we have ourselves. There are two types of confidence, first is inner confidence, a self belief and next is external confidence, the way you dress, how you walk and communicate shows how confident you are.

Having inner confidence, self-belief in you is far more critical than having external confidence. Clothes, body language can be faked, but inner confidence cannot and be faked unless they are trained in that area.

Often it is those with strong self-belief in themselves, when people are confident, even if they (guys) are outside walking in shorts, slippers and t-shirt ladies will still turn their heads and follow you as you walk pass them. I have tried it out on and it works. Inner confidence can be sensed by others even in the same gender, if you have strong inner confidence, the odds of winning is stacked with you against someone who only depend on external confidence like relaying on buying branded clothes putting on a false mask on a daily basis.

If you walk with confidence, you will feel wind as you walk even if there’s no wind on the streets. Don’t believe me, try it.

For starters, first wear office attire, put on a tie for guys formal attire and walk on the streets, be neat and tidy, don’t drag your shoes, and you’ll feel something different. That is when you feel the difference between the choice of clothes you wear and walk, than only will ladies start turning their heads slightly.

As for people with strong self-confidence inside themselves, they know very well how it feels like to have looked upon.

There is a common saying “Fake it till you make it” but I would prefer to say “First you fake it, second you network with successful individuals, third get the results your desire by doing what they do and fourth you have made it.” That is the real process of the common saying, but people just take it at face value without looking at in deeper into the meaning.

Confidence can be trained, built and taught but it must be used on the right things without harboring any ill intentions in exchange for some temporary gains as to permanent gains.
