            People have their own ambitions or dreams, but there are some distractions which can be challenging while we are trying to accomplish those goals. One of those is not being confident to show up. Actually, confidence is the key of being successful to stand up in public to expose whatever our abilities. This is related with the concept of self-confidence which means that we trust ourselves for being able to do anything. Instructors at Confidence Building Courses showed that confident people are generally happier and more satisfied with their life. There are some other reasons why self-confidence becomes the most important factor to be successful in life.

            Firstly, being confident can get more achievements. In fact, workers who have self-confidence are more known by their bosses because they are capable in showing their talents. It is really helpful for them to get promotions. Shy people usually are difficult to improve their skill. Feeling afraid and scared of being wrong in front of public make them prefer to keep silent than take an action. On the opposite, confident people can freely doing anything that they believe. They can develop a positive mind with whatever tasks they focus on and manage those complex tasks with commitment and concentration. Then they will be able to show their consistent work which leads to the achievement result. According to Branden (1969), confidence is the ability to think and cope with the basic challenges of life. It directs the feeling of being worthy, deserving, entitled to assert needs and wants, and achieve the value.

            Secondly, it pushes our bravery to take a part in new opportunities. Based on Life Coach Directory, self-confidence could maintain comfortable circumstances when facing new challenges. It means we will not give up, but take a chance to explore more our abilities. Even though we receive criticism on the subjects or things that we are doing, we take it as moving spirit. Then we could perform better and get what we want. The University of Edinburgh and the University of California-San Diego through a standoff over a particular resource explained if you take a chance by being confident even you are not sure you could win the fight. It gives most often successful results. For instance, a study by the University of Texas showed that students performed better than others because of their confidence to try more even they get criticisms before. The self-belief which gives the courage to take on greater challenges to them can contribute to the development of powerful solutions.

            Thirdly, confidence could be the media to socialize with others. By being able to communicate with people whenever we are will help us finding correlations. Self-confidence actually is one of the wheels of wellness which related with our activities, social network, and others. Adler’s through his individual psychology and cross-disciplinary research said that the wheels of wellness which are the spirituality, self-confident, working and leisure, friendship, and love have connection between each other. It is essential to have these components to focus identifying strengths and positive behaviors of surrounding. Take, being flexible or well-mannered when we do public speaking will make impressed the viewer. People will recognize us and it is really possible to get some other invitations to do public speaking more. It is also can be happen when we are in the first meeting.  When we meet new people with different situations, we could start conversation first. It will be helpful to get new friends even new relationship for work or others.

            Briefly, being confident does not mean over pretense for looking good in public. It is kind of a natural expression of ability, skill, and self-regard. Some people feel that it is hard to be confident in public. One saying stated “Fake It until You Make It” which means imitating confidence until produce the real one.
