From the cartoon given above， we can observe that there are two sportsmen playing football on a playground. Influenced by the idea that the goal is larger than it really is and I am so small， the goalkeeper seems to be quite anxious and doubts whether he can catch the ball or not. Meanwhile， with the thought that the goalkeeper looks like an invincible giantin his mind， the striker is also fairly nervous. It is obvious that both of them lack confidence and overestimate the difficulties. The cartoon informs us of a factthat， in many cases， people tend to overrate the outside difficulties while underrate the inner confidence and power. The reason why people lack confidence is that they dont even know themselves thoroughly and recognize themselves profoundly， that they have no idea what their strengths and weaknesses are. Whats more， the absence of self-assurance can also be attributed to the inadequate preparation. How could a teacher， an attorney or a doctor become confident without much preparation for the lesson to teach， the case to finish or the operation to perform ? The lack of confidence will inevitably arouse fear for outside challenges and difficulties，this is something like a vicious circle， which will in turn weaken ones confidence. However，the importance ofself-confidence is undeniable. Confidence enables us to achieve our objectivesand realize our dreams more smoothly and rapidly. The more confident we are，the more likely we are to face challenges courageously， keep sober in adversitiesand win others trust and support. Believe yourself no mantter how harsh the outside world seems to be. Who will trust you if you lose confidence inyourself ?(283words) |
