The power
of self-confidence
The thoughts of both the favoritism and the
competition haunt us whenever we like to
achieve something in our lives. Without these, we are not able to live and
exist in this world. Sometime, favoritism
calls the shot and some other time, the competition surpass everything
else. Nowadays our life is predominantly
under the clutch of competition and it
is the most decisive factor in how the life will progress. Many people opine that there is a shift from favoritism
to competition, of course slowly, because of
our belief system for a fair and free pattern of democracy. In a democratic environment, everything is mostly
based on the merit rather than favoritism. If you are ready to prove your mettle to do a
job with full confidence, you will be rewarded; otherwise you will be a back
bencher. The vested interests, which were the sole
decisive factors earlier are slowly
getting eliminated. Whatever left out will be also eliminated, otherwise to
sustain the pressure of severe competition from the world market will be next to impossible. The norms of competition have given rise to a
social principle, which says either you “compete or perish.” In this highly competitive environment, the
concept of two different classes emerges, which are the privileged class and
the deprived class. The privileged class
used to enjoy and now also are enjoying
many facilities which an ordinary person always hankers, but not getting and so, the privileged class is bound to
achieve success, whereas the deprive class lives their lives in distress. The
social activities related to government machineries and different NGOs are
always on the look out to search avenues to uplift the lifestyle of these deprived
classes, because they cannot sustain the fierce competition. Such a course of action leads to loss of
confidence for these classes of people.
Once they are protected, they lack their willpower. They prefer to be always protected and are
afraid to face competition. According to
the law of nature, if an individual finds himself in a deprive class, it does
not mean that he is averse to face competition forever. For a particular period of time, he may be
crippled, but he will develop his power
of confidence provided he gets adequate support.
If you are from the deprive class, it does not mean
that your career is finished. It is not
a full stop for you. You have to
transcend the hurdles to achieve success and in this process, your self-confidence
will get increased further. The very reason of deprivation could inspire you to
improve a lot. When you think that you
have perished, it is not a correct interpretation. Instead of getting perished, you have to
stand up with a new motivation to establish yourself thoroughly and prove that
you can also accomplish many things.
Only thing, you need to show your gut feelings. Your repeated attempts to excel make you more
motivated and ultimately, you will come out of deprivation. It is a fact that power of motivation accounts for personal
progress. This power can take you to a
higher path of achievement. The business
tycoon Bill Gates shares his experience saying, “I failed in some subjects in
an exam, but my friend passed on all of them.
Now, he is an engineer in an organization and I am the owner of that
organization.” According to human
nature, when you are way behind in any competition, you become less motivated
and ultimately, you leave and withdraw from the race. Contrarily, when your
rate of achievement is poor, you need to struggle more and you need to put more
efforts to become successful. People generally
take things on their face value and remain completely ignorant of how nature is
at work in the background.
People seldom go in depth to understand the real
meaning of any subject and roam on its periphery. For example, if you have a tree in your
garden and you cut off one of its branches, very soon, you will observe that a
new branch grows. This is the natural
phenomenon. When you forget the issue
how nature works silently in the background, you remain ignorant of many vital
things, which are the primary reasons of your survival and progress in your
life. This law of nature is applicable to all human beings, despite their race, culture,
religion, power of wealth and status quo in the society. Supposedly, if you
fail to accomplish in the first attempt and you have enough self-confidence in
your abilities, no one can stop you to carry out multiple attempts. So, the
principle of either to compete or perish
should not be the last answer in
your life. You have to just remove this
thought from your mind. This proverb is
nothing, but to discourage so that you leave attempts and become a failure in your next or repetitive
attempts. Ultimately, if you withdraw, the others will step in
and do the work you left out and
become successful. If you fail in your
first attempt, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot achieve in the
second or third attempt. Only thing, you
must have enough self-confidence to develop your skills and you need to boost your mind power to carry out further attempts. Then only, you will be successful in life. Finally,
never be disappointed for any failure and whenever you feel your
self-confidence level is getting less, do all these things you like to increase
the same for overall prosperity in life.
