Self-Confidence

This will be a very very very very and I do mean very boring post if you read it out of the blues.
Self-confidence, a word we often see and heard from anywhere and everyone. However so, do you really know what it really means? and do you have the sufficient confidence needed in your life?

Let me share something I gained from my organization behavior tutorial class wtf!? It's called self-fulling prophecy, and to put it simple we can call it self-confidence lar~. Saying that if we are confidence about ourself that we will achieve something, we will achieve it and if we are not confidence at all, we will just never get there.

Hmm..don't think you get it, let's use 2 example to explain things up.

Let's use a primary school kid-lah.

Example 1 (Typical Kiasu Mom)
Mother: Boy ah, you very stupid one lor, go school also no use lah! I give birth to a "char siew" better than you lah!

Example 2 (Understanding Mom)
Mother: You are smart one! very very super duper smart lah! Just like Bill Gates lah!

If your in a situation where your mom always repeat sentences like this, you will just end up like that. If ones parents keep saying their child stupid, sure-lah he or she will become stupid! And if ones parents would encourage and nurture their child properly than won't it be better by the end of the day.

Let's use another example.

Girl 1 thinks she's not attractive and have low self confidence to socialize and even to smile, by all means she will look like what she perceive-lah!

However if,

Girl 2 thinks she's attractive enough and have confidence about herself, than of course she will shine better when socializing-lor.

Ok, did I knock some senses into you yet?

Not yet huh? Lemme show you this!

Hmmm... abit over confidence I think =P

This post is dedicated to you, that keep saying yourself fat-lor, you're not fat and your just you and that's something you should be proud off. Everyone is different and by all means everyone is beautiful in one way or another, it's just the way we perceive and see things.
