After the famous scientist Einstein published the theory of relativity, many people were skeptical about this view. What's more, Einstein published a book with 100 people refuting the theory of relativity, but Einstein dismissed it. He said: "If my theory is wrong, it is enough for one person to refute it. A hundred zeros add up to zero." Getty, a successful American businessman, realized in 1932 that the oil potential in the Middle East was huge and wanted to buy a promising land. However, at that time, the price of crude oil in the world market fluctuated suddenly, so it was generally believed that it was irrational to invest at this time. Getty was influenced by everyone's opinions and gave up the idea. As a result, more than ten years later, Getty paid more than10 million dollars to obtain the mining concession of that land.
It can be seen that sometimes, if you want to succeed, you need to "go your own way." Only by firmly believing in one's own judgment, having one's own opinions, being full of confidence in success and not being superstitious about authority can we * * * overcome all difficulties and obstacles until victory.
Self-confidence is Li Bai. "Since God has given talents, let them find jobs!"! Come back with a thousand dollars "; Self-confidence is Hu Shi's open-mindedness: "Mochow has no confidant in the future, and no one in the world knows the monarch"; Self-confidence is the pride of Su Dongpo's misty rain life. People who have never lacked self-confidence since ancient times will have faith in doing things only if they affirm themselves first, and faith is your backbone.
Without the confidence of Zhou Gongjin in those days, how could there be a great victory of Battle of Red Cliffs? Without the confidence of Emperor Kangxi, Beijing might have changed its name several times. Without Roosevelt's self-confidence, how could there be four re-elected presidents? Think about us. We have never encountered an 800,000-strong army stranded on an isolated island, nor have we encountered the misfortune of paralysis of both legs, nor have we encountered internal and external troubles, and our necks have been pushed to the knife edge. So what reason do we have not to be confident?
If we analyze the personality characteristics of those outstanding people, we will find that they all have one thing in common-they always fully believe in their abilities and are convinced that their careers will be successful before they start to do things. So they can put all their energy into doing things, and it is they who succeed in the end. It can be seen that self-confidence is the foundation of success.
