Confidence is faith in one's own abilities. Confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives
Steps to build confidence
Don’t be self conscious
• This problem can stop you dead in your tracks and cause you to panic. Self consciousness will prevent you from being confident and it is so important to beat this problem
Avoid self-pity, or the pity and sympathy of others
• Never allow others to make you feel inferior--they can only do so if you let them room for criticism.
Self Trust
• Believe in the best, “Win yourself before winning others”.
• Always believe you can do it, believe you deserve it and believe you will get it.
Set small goals, and achieve them
Start with very small goals and get in the habit of setting them, achieving them, and celebrating that achievement.
Focus on Achievements
Focus on your achievements rather than your failures. If you do find yourself thinking about how you failed then look at what you managed to do right and how you could correct what you did next time.
Be yourself
Don’t be too competitive or compare yourself with others. Be yourself and accept that life is not a race against others but your self confidence depends on you and your personal needs.
Overcome your shyness
• In humans, shyness is the feeling of lack of confidence experienced in regard to social association with others.
• In zoology, shy generally means "tends to avoid human beings
Positive Attitude
Importance of Positive Attitude
In life, not everything goes as smoothly as we want it to be. There will be times when we will face problems and obstacles. The most challenging part is not when our life goes smoothly but how we react when we experience problems and difficulties.
Those who have positive attitude will treat any problem as a challenge. Instead of being discourage, they will treat each failure as a lesson, they will learn from their mistakes and will be motivated to achieve the goal. As for those who do not have the positive attitude, they will see problems and difficulties in an entirely different mind frame.
When a person gets a job or a promotion, 85% of the time is because of his attitude and the remaining 15% is due to his/her intelligence and knowledge. – “Harvard University study”

Steps in Building a Positive Attitude
Look for Positives
Look for the bright side. Start looking for what is positive in a person or situation rather than looking for a wrong thing about it. Stay away from the negative people. Even in paradise, fault finders will find faults. Most people find what they are looking for. If they are looking for friendship, happiness and the positive, that is what they get. If they are looking for fights or indifference, then that is what they get. Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness and prosperity to each and every person you meet. Forget about the mistakes that you have made in the past and focus on the achievements of the future.
Build a Positive Self Esteem
Self Esteem is the way we feel about ourselves. When we feel good within, our performance goes up and our relationship improves both at the home and at work. This happens because there is a direct correlation between our feelings and behavior.
Stay Away from Negative Influences
Today's teenagers learn from adult behavior and the media. They face peer pressure. Peer pressure is not just limited to teenagers, it is also prevalent in adults. It shows a lack of self-esteem when people do not have the courage to say "No, thank you," and stay away from negative influences; such as Negative people, Smoking, Drug Abuse, Drinking excessive Alcohol, Negative Movies and Television Programs etc.
Start Your Day with a PositiveRead or listen to something positive first thing in the morning. After a good night's sleep we are relaxed and our subconscious is receptive. It sets the tone for the day, and puts us in the right frame of mind to make every day a positive day. In order to bring about change, we need to make a conscious effort .Practice having positive thoughts and behavior daily until they become a habit.William James of Harvard University said, "If you are going to change your life, you need to start immediately and do it flamboyantly."
Allow yourself to laugh and find humour in the simplest of things.
Laughter is a powerful mood elevator. If you are feeling down, read some jokes, watch a funny movie or just act "silly" once in awhile. At times, it is a good thing to let yourself see the world through a child's eyes. Have a Happy Life
Think about your strengths
The more you occupy yourself about your weaknesses and “failures” the more pessimistic and negative you’re going to feel. Alternatively, consistently affirm your strengths, gifts and capabilities. You’ll wind up feeling empowered and in control of your circumstances, which cannot help but better your attitude!
Believe in yourself
Believe in yourself and your capabilities to become more confident. Make a positive commitment to yourself and to the people around you. Praise yourself and be enthusiastic.
Develop Empathy
Empathy is the ability to imagine being in another person's situation, and therefore understand his/her feelings.
Empathy and sympathy are two terms which are often used as synonyms.
Empathy is the ability to "put oneself in another's shoes i.e feeling what the other person feels” whereas sympathy is understanding the feelings of the other person.
