Good morning! Today, the topic of our national speech is: "Self-confidence is half the battle". I mainly talk about three points: first, the importance of self-confidence. Second, how to gain self-confidence? 3. Why is self-confidence half the battle? What is the other half of the battle?

First, talk about the importance of self-confidence. First of all, what is confidence? Self-confidence is a positive emotional tendency and self-affirmation caused by self-evaluation, and it is expected to be respected by others, the collective and society.

Self-confidence is the most indispensable quality to gain a foothold in society. In this world, we can't always be safe and smooth, and we will always encounter unexpected difficulties. Only when you have it can you see hope. Orison marden once said such an intriguing remark: "If we analyze the personality quality of those outstanding people, we will see that they have a common feature: before they start to do things, they always fully believe in their abilities, and they will overcome all difficulties and obstacles until victory!" Self-confidence can save people from difficulties, let people see the light of success in the dark and give people the motivation to struggle. Perhaps it can be said: "With self-confidence, half the battle is won." Similarly, two hard-working people and confident people will always spend their time in a more relaxed way at work. When they complete the task well, they will think that it is because they have strength. When they encounter an impossible task, they will think that the task itself may be too difficult. People who lack self-confidence will attribute their success to good luck. Because of this small psychological difference, although they spend almost the same amount of time and energy, the more confident one tends to gain more. How many scientists at home and abroad, especially inventors, are not full of confidence in their own projects? Repeated failures will only inspire their fighting spirit again and again-they think that the more failures, the closer they are to success.

Second, how to gain self-confidence? Let's first look at the performance of confident people. 1, they often have a full understanding of themselves, can accept shortcomings, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses; 2. Self-confident people don't talk much, and they like to accumulate strength in their hearts, with their five fingers together and their fists clenched. 3. Confident people are ambitious, not afraid of strong hands, dare to explore and dare to climb. 4, confident people based on reality, with solid steps, one step at a time, all the way to harvest.

Students, look, how confident it is! So how can we become more and more confident? Yes, we should learn to cultivate self-confidence constantly! 1, listen to the confident song. "Look at success or failure, life is heroic, just start all over again." This song was sung very well at the mobilization meeting of grade six. It sings our hearts. Every time I hear this song, I will think of my short experience. I am confident that it has made me understand: "Once you fail, you should stand up without hesitation and start all over again." This is self-confidence. 2, often read some confident books, such as inspirational books, Carnegie's success is very good; Read some biographies, such as the legendary story of Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba. Read some good magazines that cultivate self-confidence, such as Reader and Digest. In fact, from the subconscious law, if you encounter difficulties and problems from a positive perspective, try to say something positive, and get in touch with some people who are positive, optimistic, love life and work hard, you will become more and more confident and have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Third, why do you say "self-confidence is half the battle"? Because self-confidence is based on real talent and learning. Empty and confident, that's just self-righteousness. This so-called "self-confidence" can not only push people forward, but also cause harm to people. Similarly, self-confidence is not enough in our study. Self-confidence should be combined with hard work. It is often seen that some students walk into the examination room confidently without a trace of nervousness during the examination. But after the exam, some of these students scored quite high, while others were ashamed to meet people. This seemingly unreasonable thing is actually very simple: one of these students is very confident and hardworking; The other is self-confidence, but not hard work. These two kinds of students seem to be full of confidence to take the exam, but because of the different accumulation of knowledge at ordinary times, the consequences are completely different. Therefore, as a person, we should be a knowledgeable person before we have confidence. Because self-confidence is just an empty force, if you want to succeed, you have to attach self-confidence to the machinery that burns self-confidence and let it play its due role.

So, "What is the other half of success?" I think it's self-improvement. People should aim high first. Ambition is the gateway to career. If a person has lofty aspirations and is confident that his ambitions can be realized, then he can give full play to his potential and overcome many difficulties on his way forward. Even if he has lost many battles, he will still lose many battles and eventually succeed and become a strong man in life. Therefore, every student should have ambition and ambition. Second, be strict with yourself. Only when a person is strict with himself and constantly examines and corrects his shortcomings can he constantly improve his personality. Details determine habits, habits determine character, and character determines fate. Therefore, to be self-reliant, we must be strict with ourselves, "don't do it with small evils", develop good habits and improve our personality. Third, we must surpass ourselves. If a person wants to be angry and work hard, he must constantly overcome himself and surpass himself. It is not easy to overcome difficulties, and it is even harder to overcome yourself. When you are distracted in class, when you are careless in your homework, and when you want to give up your work and study for temporary happiness, it is really the greatest pain to overcome yourself. However, only by defeating yourself can you lose yourself; Only by defeating yourself can we make progress; Only by defeating yourself can we surpass ourselves; Only by defeating ourselves can we achieve self-improvement. From this perspective, defeating yourself is the greatest happiness. When a person has self-confidence and self-improvement, generate will exert infinite strength and create amazing miracles!

Students, I hope you won't be burdened with thoughts because of fierce competition, and don't give up on yourself because of poor foundation. We should believe in our own potential, overcome inertia, and meet life and study with full enthusiasm and self-confidence. We should believe that "no pains, no gains". All efforts will have results, and all efforts will be rewarded. I hope every student can have two points of "Mao Sui" firmness, three points of "Einstein" persistence and five points of "Madame Curie" calm self-confidence, which will contribute to a very successful you. Life is a boat, self-confidence is a sail and self-improvement is an oar. There is no road longer than feet, and there is no mountain higher than people. Finally, I want to say: "the weak wait for opportunities, and the strong create opportunities!" " Be a strong man in life! In that case, you will be a real success! "

Thank you!
