Believe in yourself

A successful person is one who believes in himself. Even if others don’t. At the end of a particularly frustrating practice one day, a football coach dismissed his players yelling; “Now all you idiots go take shower!” All but one player headed toward the locker room. The coach glared at him and asked why he was still there. “You told all the idiots to go, sir,” the player replied, “and there are a lot of them. But I am not an idiot.That is a sign of a confident and smart person. Believing in yourself comes from knowing what you are really capable of doing. Surround yourself with positive people ­ they know the importance of confidence and will help you keep focused on what you can do instead of what you can do instead of what you can’t. Who you surround yourself with is who you become. Never stop learning. Don’t limit yourself only to work-related classes, either. Learn everything about every subject that you can. Be careful not to confuse confidence with a big ego. If you want people believe in you, you also have to believe in them. Without faith in yourself and others, success is impossible.Animesh Sah is a class IX student at Kendriya Vidyalaya Picket School
