What we can not afford to lose—self-confidence
Good afternoon, dear judges, ladies and gentlemen.Today my topic is what we can not afford to lose--self-confidence.On the way to succe, there are many things that we can not afford to lose.Such as good opportunities, right goals, diligence, help from others and maybe good luck, I think.But as for today’s topic , I think that self-confidence is something that we can never afford to lose.It means the firm belief that we can do well and is believed to be the first secret of succe.There is a proverb that “Failure is the mother of succe.” But today, I’d like to give you a new idea that self-confidence is also the mother of succe.
You may have the doubt that why I choose self-confidence as the most important thing.This is because I think self-confidence is something that we can get only after we conquer ourselves.We know that every man is his own worst enemy.So it’s much harder for many people to defeat themselves than others.This is just why self-confident people are so outstanding and have more poibilities of succe.
We can not afford to lose self-confidence.It is not only crucial to our normal people, but also means more to the
disabled.Many disabled people lose hope of life and they try their best to find self-confidence, so that they can regain the courage to live on and realize their life values.Chinese famous dancer, Tai li hua, is a deaf-mute.The Thousand-hand Bodhisattva performed by deaf-mute people in the 2005 Spring festival Gala shocked our Chinese and Tai li hua’s wonderful performance left a deep impreion on the audience.She once said “I’m always full of confidence.” Of course as a deaf mute she has paid more efforts than those normal dancers and I think self-confidence is sure to be the magic weapon on her way to succe.
There is no doubt that self-confident people like challenges, and just because they dare to try, they get more.So my dear friends, if you have the goal to be the best one in your cla, believe yourself.If you dream to study hard and make a difference to our country, believe yourself.If you have the great ambition to make a better world, just believe yourself.Of course to achieve these, self-confidence is not enough, but remember that it is the first step to motivate you to have a try.And once you try it, you may find that everything is poible.If you think you can, you can！
That’s all.Thank you very much for listening.
