Self-confidence, the combination of self-efficacy and self-esteem, is an essential part of humanity. A person with self-confidence generally is willing to take risks to achieve his personal goals. Someone who lacks self-confidence, however, is less likely to feel that he can achieve his goals. 1
Identify your negative thoughts.
Your negative thoughts might sound like this: “I can’t do that.” “I will surely fail.” This inner voice is pessimistic and unhelpful and will hold you back from achieving higher self-esteem and greater self-confidence.
Turn your negative thoughts into positive thoughts.
2 This may take the form of positive affirmations, such as “I am going to try it.” “I can be successful if I work at it.” or “People will listen to me.” Start with just a few positive thoughts a day.
Refuse to allow negative thoughts to occur more often than positive thoughts.
Eventually, your positive thoughts should be given more “brain space” than your negative thoughts. 3

Avoid spending time around things that can make you feel bad about yourself again. These might be reminders from the past, clothing that no longer fits, or places that don’t fit with your new goals of gaining confidence. Though you may not be able to get rid of every negative source in your life, you can certainly think about how to cut your losses. 5 A. Get away from your past.
B. Rid reminders of your negativity.
C. This will go a long way in building up your self-confidence. D. This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.
E. The more your positive thoughts get, the less your negative thoughts get.
F. As you pay attention to your negative thoughts, turn them around to positive thoughts. G. The good news is that self-confidence is something that you can build on your own.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 My name is John and I must share with you an event which took place on Flight 1553 out of DCa. My wife and I were traveling to Miami to celebrate an achievement for her and as you can imagine, we were looking forward to fun, sun and laughter.
We boarded the aircraft, without a care in the world. It was cold in Washington and we were ready for Florida.
Shortly after taking my seat, I began to feel sick. I knew something wasn’t right but just couldn’t find out what was happening. Being a doctor and a stubborn man, I resisted efforts by my wife to call for assistance. As the aircraft began its departure roll, I lost consciousness for a short amount of time.
As I came around, I quickly realized a few things. Firstly, something very bad had happened to me. Secondly, the aircraft was too heavy with the fuel to go back home. Thirdly, my loss of consciousness had been so deep that I found myself out of control. So not only did I have a medical issue to deal with, but I also had to figure out how to deal with an embarrassing experience.
My wife gathered the crew as soon as it was safe to move about and I made my way to the washroom to attempt to clean up. I did my best and the flight crew members were so supportive, checking on me often and reassuring me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
It was their sympathy and support that helped me so much. During the flight they kept watching over me and I suddenly had a small group of nurses, bringing blankets, food, drinks and caring and smile. I was thankful to them.

Upon landing, I remained in my seat, allowing other people to go first. Tired and weak, I collapsed to the back seat, closing my eyes. Shortly afterwards, all the people left the plane, apart from my wife and I. Sensing my situation, the captain made his way to me, holding a cup of water. “Thank you, ”I murmured. Much to my surprise, upon hearing this, his face lit up. A slow smile worked its way across his face and into his eyes. “Anything needed?” he asked in a gentle voice,

warmly and kindly. Looking at my dirty trousers, I threw a grateful smile to him, “Maybe a pair of jeans?\"
Hearing that, the captain left and returned a couple of minutes later with a pair of his own blue jeans. The instant I saw the jeans, blood rushed to my head immediately. Deeply touched by his kind action, I felt grateful. My tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably.“Thank you, thank you...” I couldn’t help extending my gratitude to him. Seeing that I became energetic again, he touched my shoulder, eyes glittering with excitement. After he left it dawned on me that he even didn’t give me his name! Never had I anticipated that kindness could inject such great power into others, and in return, I was determined to pass on the love!
