Discovering one's strengths is the foundation of self-confidence. But in different environments, there are unequal opportunities for strengths to emerge. For example, some schools focus on cultural subjects, the advantages of good grades will be revealed, while good sports may not be valued; change to the sports school, the situation may be just the opposite. Therefore, when we evaluate ourselves, we can adopt the method of scene change, looking for the 'three-dimensional me', so we may accidentally find that they originally have a lot of advantages and strengths. Believe that you can do it, in order to boldly try and accept the challenge. To this end, we need to experience confidence in recalling past successes. At the same time, it is more important to do more and strive to make things happen, from which we will be more inspired. In trying, there will be some failures and mistakes. If we believe in Edison's words, "there is no failure, only a little further from success," then, for the process of problems, difficulties and even failures, can look a little lighter, calmly cope with, focus on the completion of the task, and constantly enhance the strength. And strength, is the most important pillar of confidence
1, pick the front seat
Do you notice, whether in teaching or classroom parties, how the back row of seats are first filled? Most people who occupy the back rows want to be less conspicuous. Their fear of being noticed is due to a lack of confidence. Sitting up front builds confidence. Try it as a rule and try to sit as far forward as possible from now on. Sure, it's more conspicuous, but remember that everything about success is conspicuous.
2. Practice looking people in the eye
A person's eyes can reveal a lot about them. When someone doesn't look you in the eye, you intuitively ask yourself, "What are you trying to hide? What is he afraid of? Will he turn against me?" Not looking someone in the eye usually means: I feel inferior next to you; I feel less than you; I'm afraid of you. Avoiding someone's eyes means: I feel guilty; I've done or thought something I don't want you to know about; I'm afraid that as soon as I make contact with your eyes, you'll see right through me. These are all bad messages. Looking someone squarely in the eye is the same as telling you that I am honest and honorable. I believe what I'm telling you is true and unvarnished.
3. Speed up your walk by 25 percent
When David Swartz was a teenager, going to the town center was great fun. After getting into the car after all the errands, his mother would often say, "David, let's sit for a while and watch the passersby." Mother was a wonderful connoisseur of observation. She would say, "Look at that fellow, what do you think is bothering him?" Or "What do you think that lady over there is going to do?" Or "Look at that guy, he seems a little confused." It's really fun to watch people walk. It's much cheaper and more enlightening than watching a movie. Many psychologists associate slouched posture and a slow pace with unpleasant feelings about oneself, about one's work, and about others. But psychologists also tell us that it is possible to change mental states by changing posture and pace. If you look closely, you will see that the movements of the body are the result of the activities of the mind. Those who have been beaten and rejected walk with a shuffling motion, with no self-confidence at all. Ordinary people walk like "ordinary people" and say, "I'm not very proud of myself". The other kind of person shows extraordinary confidence and walks faster than the average person, like a runner. Their pace tells the world, "I'm going somewhere important, I'm going to do something important, and more importantly, I'm going to make it in 15 minutes." Use this "go 25% faster" technique, walk faster with your head held high, and you'll feel your self-confidence grow.
4. Practice public speaking
Napoleon Hill pointed out that there are a lot of sharp-thinking, gifted people who can't use their strengths to participate in discussions. It's not that they don't want to participate, but simply because they lack confidence. People who are quiet in meetings think: "My opinion may not be valuable, and if I say it, others may think it's stupid, so I'd better not say anything. Besides, everyone else probably knows more than I do, and I don't really want you all to know that I am so ignorant." These people often make very involved promises to themselves, "Wait until the next time you speak." But they know very well that they will not be able to fulfill this promise. Every time one of these reticent people doesn't speak, he's been hit with yet another lack-of-confidence toxin, and he's losing more and more of his self-confidence. On the positive side, if one tries to speak as much as possible, he will increase his confidence and will be more likely to speak next time. So, speak up more often. This is a "vitamin" for confidence. Regardless of the nature of the meeting you are attending, take the initiative to speak up every time, perhaps to comment, to make suggestions, or to ask questions, with no exceptions. And don't be the last to speak. Be the icebreaker, the first to break the silence. And don't worry that you'll look stupid. You won't. Because there will always be someone who agrees with your insights. So stop saying to yourself, "I doubt I'll dare speak up." Use your heart to gain the attention of the chair of the meeting so that you can have a chance to speak.
5. Grin big.
Most people know that laughing gives them a very real boost, and it's a cure for low confidence. But there are still many people who don't believe this because they never try to laugh when they are afraid. True laughter not only heals your own bad feelings, but it also immediately dissolves the hostility of others. If you sincerely show a person a smile, he really can't be angry with you anymore. Napoleon Hill told a personal experience of his own: "One day, my car was stopped at a red light at an intersection when suddenly there was a 'bang' and it turned out to be the driver of the car behind me whose foot slipped off the brake and whose car hit the bumper behind my car. I saw him coming down in the rearview mirror and followed him out of the car, ready to berate him. "But luckily for me, before I could have a chance to snap, he came up to me, smiled at me, and in the most sincere tone of voice said, 'My friend, I really didn't mean to do that.' His smile and sincere note melted me. I could only whisper, 'It's okay, it happens all the time.' In the blink of an eye, my hostility turned into friendliness." Grin big and you'll feel like the good old days are here again. Laugh "big"; a half-smile won't help, but a big grin with your teeth showing will do the trick. We often hear, "Yes, but when I'm scared or angry, I just don't want to laugh." Of course, that's when no one can laugh. The trick is when you force yourself to say, "I'm going to start laughing." Then, laugh. To control and use the ability to laugh.
6, stage fright, may as well tell the truth, that can calm down
The method of internal observation is one of the main methods of research psychology, which is the experimental psychology of the ancestor of the point of view put forward by William Watt. This method involves observing one's inner self very calmly, and then shaking out the results of the observation without any concealment. If you can imitate this method and express in words the secrets of your mind, which are changing from moment to moment, without any concealment, then there is no room for trouble. For example, if you go to an unfamiliar place for the first time, you will inevitably have a great deal of doubt in your heart. At this time, you may as well express this uneasiness clearly in words: "I almost froze, my heart beat incessantly with apprehension, and even my two eyes were darkened, my tongue curdled, and my throat was so parched that I could not speak." This will not only drive away the inner tension, but also bring about an unexpected calmness of mood. It may be well to give another very real example. There is a salesman ranked No. 5 in the United States, when he is not familiar with this line of work, once, he actually met with the United States of America's automobile king alone. As a result, he was really timid. He could not help but say it honestly: "I'm ashamed to say that when I first saw you, I was so afraid that I couldn't even speak." As it turned out, this drove away the fear instead, thanks to the effect of confession.
7, such as the use of affirmative tone of voice can eliminate the feeling of inferiority
Some women face the mirror, when she saw their own shape or skin color, can not help but produce some kind of happy feelings. On the contrary, some women are plagued by feelings of inferiority. Though each other's complexions are dark, the confident woman thinks, "My skin is wheat-colored, almost comparable to a brunette." And she must be secretly delighted inside. But a lackadaisical woman moans in agony at this, "What's wrong with my complexion, it's so dark." The two types of people are in completely different moods. Some women lose their confidence when they see a mirror and even break it in a fit of anger. This shows that the standard of value judgment is very subjective and ambiguous. As long as one thinks it is beautiful, one looks beautiful, and if one thinks it is annoying, one looks and feels bad. Especially, the situation about the feeling of inferiority is also often affected by the language, so it is said that the language of negative implication is harmful to a person's mental health. Lucretius, the great Roman poet who wrote Theory of the Nature of Things, advised the world to praise a dark-skinned woman by saying, "Your complexion is as charming as a walnut." As long as one continually appreciates the other person in this way, the woman will not care even if she combs her face in the mirror again and again, or knows that she is dark-skinned. In this way, she will be able to concentrate on her make-up and always feel that she is no less than an attractive woman. In short, the use of affirmative or negative wording can make a world of difference in describing the same fact. It is clear that wording is a magician that no genius can match. In any case, if one uses a valuable word or narrative, one can change the same fact completely, and of course remove the feeling of inferiority, and enjoy a pleasant life.
8, self-confidence cultivate self-confidence
If the lack of self-confidence, has been doing something as if there is no self-confidence, will be more and more lack of self-confidence. When you lack confidence, it is more important to do something that is full of confidence. Instead of telling yourself that you don't have confidence, you should tell yourself that you have confidence. In order to overcome negative attitudes, we should try to adopt positive attitudes. If you think you can't do it and leave things around you, the situation will gradually become what you think it is. There is a certain student organization that promotes university students to choose the most modern and beautiful university student every year and holds a contest. Here is what the staff there said. When they go to universities or on the street and see a beautiful person, they show them a pamphlet and ask them to participate in the contest. Various contests were held from the local to the central level. However, everyone became more and more beautiful, and it was almost impossible to tell. The staff there said, "I guess they are getting more and more confident!" That's exactly right. Because of the positive attitude of "I want to participate in this contest," these people look so beautiful. The life-affirming attitude of "I want to participate in this contest" creates self-confidence and makes these people look even more beautiful. There is a Danish maxim that says, "Even if good luck comes to your door, a fool knows how to invite it in." If you have a negative attitude, even if good luck knocks at your door, you will not invite it in. When the opportunity comes, you should put aside your negative attitude. Luck comes not only from the outside, but also from the inside. "Don't say anything mean all day today" seems easy, but it is not. However, if you are determined to do it, you can do it. If you have a smile in your voice, your life will become brighter every day. If you have a smile in your voice, people will want to talk to you and will be energized by the contact. When talking on the phone, if you speak with a smiling voice, the other person will feel comfortable and you will also feel happy. If you speak with a bitter face or a cold voice, you will not only make the other person uncomfortable, but you will also feel uncomfortable. When you use words to attack the other party, you are using words to attack yourself, and your attitude toward the other party is also your attitude toward yourself. We should build up like bricks, one by one, stacking up our positive, affirming attitudes towards life. Even if we can't like all people, we should try to like one more person or not. By liking one person, relatively, we will also like ourselves, and then, we will also overcome the unnecessary fear of others. Because, self-confidence develops self-confidence. One small achievement at a time will bring us self-confidence. If we try to do great and extraordinary things at once, we will have less and less confidence.
9. Do what you can do
When you do what you can do, your personality comes out. It is important to find out what you can do right now instead of trying to restore your self-image. By knowing what to do and then doing it, you can free yourself from your self-image. In short, try to write down what you can do right now, and then practice it. It doesn't have to be a great, extraordinary action, but just something within your power is enough. Because we just want to get ahead in one step, that's why we can't find things to do. "Today's work is done today." If you leave work that can be easily done today until the next day, it will become very heavy. If you think, "What a pain in the ass!" and leave it for the next day, the work will become relatively heavy. If you put off until the next day what you can do today, you will be burdened with that delayed work. I have never met anyone who said, "From tomorrow I will quit smoking!" And quit smoking. Nor have I ever met anyone who said, "That's enough wine for tonight!" And quit the booze. Here's a little story about a photographer. Once, this photographer was attending some party. On his way to the reception, the photographer said, "I quit drinking," and when asked, "When did you start," he replied, "Just now I decided to quit." He quit smoking and drinking. Most people would answer, "After this drinking party" or "This drinking party will be the last". "Forever" also adds up hour by hour, because if you take an hour off, there is no more forever. Try making two cards, one with "Go ahead!" and the other with "Do it later". Carry both cards with you, and when you are not feeling confident, pull out one of the cards. This is when you should pull out the one that says "Go ahead! We can write "Be confident" on the back. When you don't know whether to do it or not, make sure you pull out this card. Because today is the next day, and if you don't do what you can do today, it will be more difficult to do it tomorrow.
10, self-confidence in order to self-reliance
In today's market economy, each of our families also make economic choices accordingly, to self-reliance and self-confidence in the level of development of life. With regard to the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance of students, there is a lack of education and training in this area for children from childhood to adulthood, both at school and at home. Therefore, at school and at home, both teachers and parents should be aware of the need to educate and cultivate the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance in children. In the society, need the government and various departments and everyone's *** with efforts to achieve civilization and health, stability and health of the environment; in the family, is the need for parents' good image and education to make a positive impact to build family harmony and happiness of the environment; and in the school needs to be the school leadership, classroom teachers and teachers of various subjects with the quality of the educator to create an environment of knowledge and educate people. On this basis, it is of practical significance to cultivate the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance in students and to promote children to study hard and be a good person. Self-confidence is the mental attitude when you are fully sure of yourself, and it is a positive force to overcome difficulties and succeed. Self-support is the ability to make self-confidence as much as possible without relying on the labor or help of others. No matter what kind of relationship between self-confidence and self-reliance, play what kind of role, the important one in the development of life is that people rely on the quality of personality and the realization of their own value of the crucial factors. People always build self-confidence on the basis of self-reliance, and seek opportunities to win from the competitive environment. It can be seen that there is no self-reliance as a solid foundation for self-confidence is blind confidence, the reality of life, work, and even career achievements and success is also confused. For students now studying at school, or in the future to the community or work, self-confidence and self-reliance will be accompanied by a lifetime of development in the career and life, their future and happiness will play an extremely important role. Secondary school is an important period for modern people to form habits and qualities. The influence of teachers and parents is ultimately recognized in the child's adulthood, and at the same time demonstrates the essential fulfillment of educational obligations. If parents only raise their children without nurturing their hearts, and teachers only teach their students according to the book instead of nurturing them, then the growth and cultivation of children will not be well ensured, let alone talking about the education of the qualities of self-confidence and self-reliance. Therefore, the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance should be cultivated in students from a young age, from home to school, to be able to receive and accept the evaluation of their parents and teachers, which can be recognized by them, whether it is expressed in words or gestures. In any environment or occasion, they are always willing to accept the praise of adults, especially the praise of parents and teachers, which can make them more confident. Therefore, whether it is parents or teachers, giving encouragement to children in their life and learning process is the most powerful measure to cultivate their self-confidence and self-reliance. Encouragement can be given in many different ways, but it is always delivered positively in the form of a message. Even for children who have made mistakes or students who are still deficient in certain areas, the trust and encouragement of parents and teachers is a great motivation for them to build up their confidence. For students to cultivate the quality of self-reliance habits mainly from the life of the supervision and training of their independence, let them do what they can do, although there are some things they do not want to do or do not do well or have difficulties, as parents and teachers should take advantage of the flexibility to adopt convenient ways and means to adhere to the requirements of them, and they can not be accommodated and afraid of trouble. Because a very important point in the growth of children is in the adult encouragement and positive influence on the performance is particularly prominent. Parents and teachers say they are good at something, they think they are good at it; on the contrary, say they are not good or blame them, their psychological self-consciousness of their own failure or not. For this reason, we should give positive recognition to their learning, speech and behavior, and even if they have made little or no progress, we should look for ways to motivate and help them. But do not be rude and cross-eyed about everything they do. At present, some parents of children's learning goals demanding super-high, the child to do everything instead of the package, and even some parents of children indulgent spoiled, resulting in children do not have the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance of the good cultivation, even if there is a little self-confidence, but also unhealthy. Just crossed into junior high school students, with the rise in grades, subjects and hours of increase, the amount of heavy homework, the content of the gradual deepening of some students will be due to learning difficulties and failures, so that their own new learning environment, new acquaintance with teachers and classmates, as well as the new subject of the budding confidence in learning will suffer setbacks and blow. At the same time, as they grow day by day, their own self-concern gradually increased, understanding deepened, the sense of autonomy continues to develop, self-confidence and self-reliance of the quality of the foundation has undergone profound changes. Teachers should endeavor to evaluate students' budding self-confidence and self-reliance appropriately. On this foothold, to help them develop a sense of self-confidence and self-reliant behavior, for them to seek the psychological feeling of success or failure in learning and life, to establish the same emotional attitude towards them, to explore the degree of satisfaction of their self-expectations. Since the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance of students is mainly manifested in their studies, it is necessary to encourage them to study hard and seriously, and to touch them to think independently, so that they can excel in at least one or two subjects, in order to add to the psychological pleasure of self-confidence and self-reliance brought by success and winning. Students who have learning difficulties and lack confidence should develop confidence in their favorite activities and skills, which will then be channeled into classroom learning. Teachers and parents should always show concern, attention and high expectations for students, both at school and at home. How they should be required, how they should be moderately targeted, not to lower their standards and requirements because they are lagging behind or poor in their studies or in a certain area, let alone adopting a belittling or discriminatory attitude towards them in such circumstances. Students should be reminded to see their own strengths and know their own shortcomings, and try to avoid suffering from blindness or overconfidence, which would otherwise increase their psychological burden of learning. Try to seize the psychological characteristics of their self-effort, courage, and positivity, and encourage them to think for themselves, do their own work and solve the problems that arise in their studies and lives by themselves. Junior high school stage is a period of transition from adolescence to youth, it is an important stage to cultivate the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance of students and to realize the nine-year compulsory education, which is a basic education for them to go to the society, to participate in the work or to enter the senior high school, secondary school, technical school and so on. It can be seen that self-confidence and self-reliance also gradually make a key choice here. The high school stage is an important period for students to step into the ranks of adults to look at the problem of mastering knowledge, with the continuous enrichment of knowledge, experience, and the strengthening of students' self-awareness, they can objectively look at themselves, and at the same time, they will also confirm themselves from the reality of the society. However, the ability of self-adjustment and self-improvement in self-confidence and self-reliance still needs active efforts to cultivate. Therefore, teachers should enlighten and help them to be more certain to face the competition in study and promotion, which is also a severe test of their quality of self-confidence and self-reliance. Teachers should tell and guide them to correctly deal with the problems that will arise in the competition, and especially emphasize that for the possible setbacks and difficulties, they should make due psychological preparation to avoid the emotional crisis of being overwhelmed when their hopes are dashed due to the ultra-high subjective desires. Don't only have the illusion of success without the estimation of failure. Let them know realize that the road to success in life is not just one, so that they do not have low self-esteem and confidence, objectively analyze their own strengths and weaknesses from their own actual situation, and then avoid the shortcomings and enhance their strengths, to give full play to their potential for future self-reliance to make good preparation for self-confidence. In the future, when they go out into the society, they will be able to think independently in their interactions with others and in matters that come up, they will not be easily dominated by others, and they will be able to make the right choices rationally. Whether in the material or spiritual, even in the complex environment, as the development of cultured, moral, ideal and disciplined modern people, on the basis of the quality of self-confidence and self-reliance, will stand higher, see farther and do better. (The article was published in the Modern Education Essay, Volume VII, published in April 1999) - from the "spiritual night language"
Edit paragraph IX, the achievement of the cause of self-confidence
Run a marathon, because the body will be tired, so we can not be more motivated every beyond a telephone pole. However, as long as it is not entirely physical labor, one at a time to achieve the goal will bring more power. So the big goal should be broken down into smaller stages to be reached. Each stage that is reached will generate new motivation. Then it will inspire the motivation needed to reach the ultimate goal. The person who thinks, "It's probably hard!" People who then fall into depression are initially succumbed to the goal, and, as these people will set a goal that they cannot do, it is evident that they are already twisted inside. A sound soul will aspire to what it can do. An underdeveloped mind will constantly adopt a very strong self-centered attitude. Once this type of self-centered person sets a goal, it must be the one that immediately attracts the attention of all people, and then, because of the obsession with that goal, he loses sight of what he should be doing here and now, and finally, he is the only one who is doing something new and different. This is why people who like to be different when they are young tend to be depressed when they are old. When you are young, you cannot overcome your self-expression and self-centeredness, and when you get older, you become depressed. There is a saying, "When the geese fly, the tortoise stomps its feet," which means that those who cannot find what they want to do are like the tortoise in this saying. Wouldn't it be strange for a tortoise to see geese flying across the sky and want to fly himself? There should be something the turtle can do that the geese can't.
(1) Introduction
Achieving a career requires self-confidence, and with self-confidence comes courage, strength and perseverance. With these, difficulties can be overcome and goals can be achieved. But self-confidence is not conceited, not to mention delusional, self-confidence is built on the basis of the truth and self-improvement is meaningful.
(2) Factual Arguments
Li Siguang does not believe in foreigners believe in themselves Li Siguang, the word Zhong Kui, Hubei Huanggang people. He was an outstanding scientist and the founder of geomechanics. Before the 1920s, there was a long-held view in international geology and geography that there were no Quaternary glaciers in mainland China. Li Siguang thought: foreign geologists have not done serious investigations, on what grounds to say that there are no Quaternary glaciers in China? He did not believe the foreigners, in 1921, Li Siguang personally to the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains in Hebei Province for geological investigation, 1933 to 1934 to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Lushan, Jiuhua Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, Mount Huangshan investigation, and then write a paper, arguing the existence of the Quaternary glaciers in North China and the Yangtze River Basin in general. 1939, he was published in the Geological Society of the world, "China's Aurignacian glaciers", with a large number of evidence to affirm that the existence of the remains of glaciers in China. In 1939, he published the article "Chinese Aurignacian Glaciers" in the Geological Society of the World, confirming the existence of glacial remains in China with a lot of empirical evidence, which was a great contribution to geology, geography and anthropology. At the beginning of the 20th century, Mobil Oil Company of the United States had drilled wells in the western part of China to look for oil, but the result was nothing. So a group of western scholars led by Prof. Blackwell asserted that there was no oil under the ground in China and that China was an "oil-poor country". The young geologist Li Siguang did not believe in this evil: the failure of Mobil can not be concluded that there is no oil under the ground in China. He said: I don't believe, oil, is born only in the West's underground? Under the domination of this strong self-confidence, he began his 30-year career of searching for oil. Using the theory of geological subsidence, he discovered the Daqing Oil Field, Dagang Oil Field, Shengli Oil Field, North China Oil Field and Jianghan Oil Field. At that time, he also foresaw that there was oil in the northwest. The Xinjiang oil field, which is being developed today, has fully confirmed his prediction. Li Siguang's self-confidence and self-improvement completely shattered the "theory of China's oil poverty". Confident People in Difficulties There are a number of people in the world who are full of confidence, self-improvement, and struggle to get upward, and ultimately obtain brilliant achievements, even though they are in adversity. The famous ancient Greek orator, Demosthenes, originally suffered from stuttering, stuttering at an early age, weak voice, speech is often applauded. He was always confident in himself, in order to overcome the disease, every morning with a small stone in his mouth, shouting practice, and finally became a mouth like a river, arguing the orator. Helen Keller, a famous American writer, was deaf and blind at an early age due to illness. She was self-confident and self-improvement, and at the age of 14, she mastered a variety of foreign languages, and became fluent in German, French, Roman and Greek literature. 20 years old, she was admitted to the famous Harvard University. Kepler, the famous German astronomer, suffered from smallpox at the age of 4, leaving a lingering effect of numbness, and later suffered from scarlet fever, which damaged his eyes and made him highly nearsighted. He suffered from the disease all his life. However, he never lost his self-confidence, and fought fearlessly for more than 20 years in the midst of poverty and illness. He established the three laws of planetary motion, which laid the foundation for Newton's discovery of universal gravitation. Important works include The Mystery of the Universe, Copernican Outline of Astronomy, and Theory of the Harmony of the Universe. Taha Hussein, an Egyptian writer and literary critic, was blind at the age of three. He was tenacious and self-confident, studied in France and became the first doctor in Egyptian history. His works include the novels The Call of the Partridge, The Unfortunate Tree, Lost Love and the autobiographical Days. He has also written a large number of works, such as the literary criticism "Literature of the Pre-Islamic Era" and "History of Arabic Literature", and is regarded as the "Pillar of Arabic Literature". It is common in ancient and modern times and places that people do not lose confidence in adversity: Zhang Haidi, who was paralyzed at an early age due to illness, became a writer and translator through her confident efforts; Gao Shiqi, who is known as the "Iron Man" of science and technology, created more than 600,000-word scientific fiction and popular science papers, and wrote two thousand scientific papers, even though he was in the condition of deteriorating condition, from hemiparalysis to total paralysis, and lost the ability to speak. He also composed more than 600,000 words of scientific fiction and scientific essays, more than 2,000 lines of poetry, and wrote more than ten new books; Qu Yuan was exiled and wrote "Li Sao"; Sun Zi wrote "Sun Bin's Art of War" after he suffered Bin's punishment; Sima Qian was tortured by the palace to write "The Records of the Grand Historian"; Beethoven composed "Heroes' Symphony" after he was deaf; and Ostrowski wrote "How Iron and Steel are Made" in the midst of his blindness and paralysis.
Solario's "self-talk"
Solario, a gypsy tinkerer who lived on the streets, woke up first thing in the morning and said aloud to himself, "You will become a great painter like Antonio. " Having said this, he felt that he really had the ability and wisdom to do so, and he went about his day's work and study with passion and confidence. Ten years later, he became a famous painter surpassing Antonio.
Einstein insisted on the theory of relativity
After Einstein's theory of relativity was published, some people created a book called "The Hundred People Refute Relativity," which gathered a group of so-called celebrities to refute the theory vociferously. However, Einstein was confident that his theory would be victorious, and disdained the rebuttals, saying, "If my theory is wrong, one rebuttal is enough, and a hundred zeros still add up to zero." He was so determined to win that he persisted in his research and finally made the theory of relativity the great theory of the 20th century, which has attracted worldwide attention.
Madame Curie and Radium
In order to extract pure radium, so as to determine its atomic weight and confirm its existence to science, Madame Curie wore dusty and stained overalls all day long, and stirred the smelting pots with iron bars almost as tall as she was in an extremely simple hut to search for radium in the heaps of asphalt mine waste. The conditions were extremely difficult, but she was confident in her heart. She told her friends, "We should have perseverance and especially self-confidence! We must believe that our gifts are meant for something, and no matter what the cost, that something must be done." She finally achieved success.
