8 Let's Read it from Bhagvad Gita • कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते र् फलेषु कदाचना कर्मफलेह्तुर भुरर्ा ते संगोस््वकर्ामनी॥ Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachna Karmaphalehtur bhurma te sangostvakarmani. Chapter 2, 47th shloka You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action। Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty. • This sentence was actually used by Lord krishna to infuse CONFIDENCE in Arjun to focus on Actions and not the results. (Results here mean the Lust for achieving it, not the Goal to be realised.) • Message is that it is the Action that gives Confidence and Planning alone can not lead you anywhere.
9 OUTLINE • Understanding Self Confidence and related terms. • Freedom from Doubt. • Confidence Story. • Tips for Self-Confidence. • Avoiding Overconfidence. • Advantages of Self-Confidence. • Summary • Pledge • Poem • References
10 UNDERSTANDING SELF CONFIDENCE Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing. - Theodore Roosevelt
11 Dictionary Meaning • "Freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities." • This time the dictionary meaning is quite precise.
12 Do Not Doubt • Doubt is opposite of Self- Confidence. • Doubt leads to state of confusion. • Confusion hampers your planning. • Confusion thus leads to Inaction.
13 Less worry for failure • Worry of Negative Consequences gives doubt and hence an state of inaction and hence reduces the confidence. • Worrying about "Disapproval by others" is still more detrimental for Self-Confidence.
14 Related Terms • Self Esteem Pride in oneself • Self Efficacy Power to produce desired effect • Negative Confidence Surety of inability to perform something • Overconfidence Confidence beyond ability or show off of ability to tease others. • Ego Feeling of superiority over others • Confidence on Others Surety about others or team members to achieve desired goal.
15 Freedom from Doubt “The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure."
16 HANGING ON ROPE • Doubt is like hanging on a rope. In a situation between belief or disbelief. • It is surely dangerous if I do no stretch enough to collect the wisdom from both hands. SO WHEN IN DOUBT EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS.
17 EXPAND HORIZONS • To Collect more knowledge. • To take support of other people. • To be ready for harder work. • To broaden the outlook.
18 Doubt What • Doubt about limitation to solve a particular problem. Don't make it a general doubt on yourself. • Never doubt the intentions of the problem provider. Remember, all problems are always given by almighty GOD.
19 CONFIDENCE STORY "Self trust is the first secret of success" Emerson
20 STORY1: Boy and the old man - 1 • Boy: I think I have a problem. • Old Man: Tell me, what is troubling you. • Boy: When I am in a group of people, I hesitate to speak. Others don't give me much attention. This affects me negatively. • Old Man: Your self confidence is not so high. I suggest you some exercises. It may not be easy, but if you persist, you are going to see results.
21 STORY1: Boy and the old man - 2 • Six Months Later ……………….
22 STORY1: Boy and the old man - 3 • Boy: It worked Sir!. • Old Man: O really! Tell me what happened. • Boy: Now I can talk and participate well in a group. • Old Man: Ok! Keep doing the same exercises. • Boy: But I don't have any problem now. I am cured.
23 STORY1: Boy and the old man - 4 • Old Man: When you reach the level where you can be amongst people who do not pay attention to you and you can still be self-confident, that is when you will be cured.
24 AVOIDING OVER CONFIDENCE The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labour is immense. Arnold Bennett (British novelist)
25 Over Confidence • It is an attitudinal problem • Can come by habit of hiding of sharable information. • Leads to EGO. • Person avoids helping others. • Person is lonely at heart. • Indication of shallow and limited knowledge.
26 Over Confidence Examples: • I can do it better than you. • I won't tell you, do it yourself. • This is my copy only. Get one for yourself. Please don't always beg for things. • No one can ever defeat me. • I made this place, solely with my efforts only.
27 Understanding Fallacies of Over Confidence • Always remember, Results are due to hard work of any person. So no point boasting about your capabilities. Things can change any day. • Over Confidence can lead to lesser efforts, so be careful. • Over Confidence can spoil relationship with others. Relationships are sometimes more valuable than results.
28 TIPS FOR INCREASING SELF CONFIDENCE "As is your confidence, so is your capacity"
29 SELF CONFIDENCE FORMULA • SELF-CONFIDENCE = BELIEF x YOU – DOUBTS / YOU Belief multiplied by you minus doubts divided by you. • "SELF BELIEF" and "NO DOUBT ON ONCE OWN CAPABILITIES" is the first rule of gaining self confidence
30 Praise Others Frequently • If you praise others frequently, chances are that you will also be praised by them quite sometimes. • This could provide you a perfect dose of self-confidence. • Praising the people in your peer group is even more important.
31 Speak-Up your Mind • Every one has his/her own views about situations and happenings. • Speak up in every group discussion at least once. • Try to join groups where you find such opportunities more often. • Snatch your turn without hurting others.
32 SMILE Wins Hearts, Looses Ego • Practicing a smiling gesture during interpersonal interactions can do wonders to your Self-Confidence. • Smile also helps you to loose your EGO and win Hearts of others much easily then you think it is possible. • A smile can make most ugly persons look beautiful. • A smile is a better facial exercise than being sad, hence it can pump more oxygen towards your head, thus making your brain give better responses.
33 Remove Social Fears • Like for Silence: Others are silent, because they are also fearful. You initiate, they will also oblige. • Language Mistakes: Others also commit lot of language mistakes. It is not a crime. Speaking out reduces mistakes day by day. • Nothing important to share: Reality of everyone is quite interesting. We are Heroes of our own movie of life. Sharing allows us to know more stories of others. • Problem of Physical Symptoms: Heart rate increase, breathing anomaly, perspirations etc. are not due to disease, but are due to lack of confidence. Remember this is what you want to remove your social fears for. Come On! Have a better excuse. • Weak Memory: Memory is nothing but an almirah for keeping information. It is never weak. You process of keeping things might be faulty. Give a little try, it will not let you down.
34 Physical Tips • Walk a little faster. • Stand Straight. • Dress Properly.
35 Advantages of Self Confidence "If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it." Jesse Jackson
36 The Second Step • If WILL POWER is the first step, next step towards Goal is surely SELF-CONFIDENCE that leads to a positive ACTION.
37 Social Strength - Help arrives faster • A self-confident person enjoys the trust of others in the society and thus help arrives faster in case of any difficult situation.
38 Judgmental accuracy • Self confidence provides the necessary insight about the abilities and thus Goal setting related accuracy is actually better. In terms of what can be achieved and in what time.
39 Self Satisfaction • A self confident person has less chance of getting stressed as the person takes a planned path and even the act of facing risks is part of the plan. This gives an overall self satisfaction.
40 Self Realisation • This the ultimate NEED of any individual. With the time of achieving all other lower level needs a person moves to this state using the ladder of Self – Confidence.
41 SELF CONFIDENCE SUMMARY "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." Mark Twain
42 Quick Revisit • Self Confidence is freedom from doubts and a state of Self – belief. • There is a thin line between Overconfidence and Self- Confidence. Avoid crossing the boundary. • Persistence of efforts is required for confidence building.
43 Final Tips • Be Yourself • Expand Your Horizons • Praise Others • Smile often • Speak Out • Remove Social Fears • Walk fast • Stand Straight • Dress well • Act Always
44 SELF CONFIDENCE PLEDGE Let's absorb the things inside.
45 PLEDGE. I ____<Your Name>_____ take a pledge, that I will make best possible efforts, to remove all my doubts, about my true capabilities, and will freely and wisely apply my skills, to the tasks allotted to me, or the tasks I choose to perform.
