美文欣赏：增强你的自信心

　　Increasing Confidence
　　by  Robert Stuberg
　　The world is changing rapidly and most people are very anxious about it. In fact, I think it might even be stronger and more accurate to say that most people are downright fearful of what they see going on around them.
　　Technological 1 change and innovation are completely altering many aspects of our lives and it doesn’t stop there. Economic changes, social changes, scientific changes, political changes… the list is endless. However, the big question we all face is how are we going to respond to these changes?
　　While the specific answers about what to do take time and thought to uncover, the best way to approach the future and all of the changes it will bring can be summed up in one word: Confidence.
　　Personal confidence is one of the greatest assets we all possess. Certainly some people seem to have much more of it than others but I believe that confidence is a skill that we can all develop. In some ways, it is undoubtedly 2 the most important skill we can develop.
　　With confidence, all things are within the realm of possibility. Without confidence, even the smallest challenges seem insurmountable.
　　What I find fascinating is that people with confidence always seem to end up on top. They seem to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. It’s as if problems and challenges run from the person who has confidence.
　　I think what’s so difficult for most people is the belief that confidence has to be based on having a specific solution at hand but that’s just not true.
　　What we all respect and admire is the person who can stand up against overwhelming difficulties and persevere 3 without an answer.
　　Here’s the secret that most people never get. Life’s challenges are no match for the person with unstoppable confidence. While the problems or challenges might seem too big to be overcome, the person with confidence always finds a way to win regardless of the circumstances.
　　Ultimately, life’s challenges run and hide from the person that maintains confidence.
　　This is hard lesson to learn. The problems of life seem so big and scary and we often think of ourselves as so small and fragile. But that’s not the way it is. That’s the illusion that most people by into, but it’s not the truth.
　　The truth is that we are bigger than anything that can ever happen to us in life. We have the power and ability to overcome any obstacle in our path. And the most important tool we possess is personal confidence, believing in your ability to overcome the current challenge just like we have done so many times in the past.
　　Whatever challenge is currently in your life, know that it’s there to help you grow and expand. Use the problems you encounter to help you build your personal confidence. Remember, you wouldn’t have the problem if you didn’t have the power to overcome it. Expanding your personal confidence will allow you to take on whatever you need to in order to fulfill 4 your personal mission.
　　增强信心
　　罗伯特.斯图伯格
　　世界在飞速变化，许多人为此而忧心忡忡。事实上，我认为可以更有力、更确切地说，大多数人对自己周围发生的一切完全心存恐惧。
　　技术科学进步和创新使我们生活的方方面面发生了翻天覆地的变化，而且这种变化不会到此为止。这种变化同时也渗透到经济、社会、科技、政治等各个方面。然而，大家面临的一个大问题就是：我们将如何应对这些变化？
　　虽然具体的答案需要花时间和心思才能得出，但通向未来的最佳途径及其将会带来的一切变化可以归结为两个字：信心。
　　自信是我们所拥有的最宝贵的资本之一。当然，有些人似乎比别人更为自信，但我认为自信是一种人人都可以培养出来的技巧。就某些方面而言，它毋庸置疑是我们可以培养的最重要的技巧。
　　拥有信心，一切皆有可能。缺乏信心，即使是最微不足道的挑战，都会显得难以逾越，无法克服。
　　我发现令人为之着迷的是自信之人似乎总是以成功而告终。他们似乎能够扫除一切“拦路虎”。问题和挑战仿佛从自信者身上逃之夭夭。
　　我认为对大多数人而言，最大的困难在于他们认为信心必须建立在手头拥有具体的解决方案的基础之上，但事实恰恰并非如此。我们都敬佩和仰慕这样的人，他们能够悍然面对种种艰巨的困难，能够不问结果而坚持不懈。
　　这就是大多数人无法获得信心的秘密。生活中的种种挑战在这些信心十足的人面前不堪一击，无法抗衡。虽然这些问题或挑战看起来似乎庞大得无法撼动，但无论环境如何，充满自信的人总会找到获胜的办法。
　　生活得种种挑战和难题最终会从一直保持自信的人身边落荒而逃。
　　这是一段艰深难学的课程。生活的难题看起来似乎艰巨而又吓人，而我们经常认为自己渺小又脆弱，但事情不是这样的。那不过是许多人买这种假象的账，但事实并非如此。
　　事实上，我们比生活中任何可能发生在我们身上的事情更强大。我们有力量和能力去克服路途上的一切障碍。而我们拥有的最重要的工具是自信心--相信我们可以克服目前的难题，就像我们以前无数次经历的一样。
　　无论目前你生活中的难题是什么，都要知道自信正助你成长和发展。利用遇到的问题帮助自己建立自信心。记住，如果你不具备解决问题的能力，你是不会遇到难题的。增强自信心将会使你运用所需的一切去完成个人使命。
