The ancients said, "A confident person does not doubt others, but people also believe in others." Self-doubters don't trust others, and others doubt themselves. "Self-confidence is an essential quality for successful people. A person who has high aspirations will never underestimate himself at any time.

Faced with the aggressiveness of authority, the unanimous denial of the judges and the ridicule of the audience, Seiji Ozawa did not underestimate himself, but proudly announced with a very confident attitude: "The score is wrong!" So he won the game, and also won the honor of dignity and career. If he gives up on himself, he will sink blindly and will not become such an outstanding conductor. Not looking down on yourself is the foundation of success.

However, not belittling yourself does not mean blind self-confidence. Gui Wang and Su Shi were born at the same time, but ridiculously thought that they were the best in the world, so they attacked Su Shi many times. At the end of the day, Wang Gui's articles were just a bunch of rhetoric, which soon drowned in history, while Su Shi, whom he despised, remained immortal and became a clown himself. The premise of not belittling yourself is to see yourself clearly. Know your own ability, don't be conceited, because it will only make you a clown who is laughed at.

Look down on the characteristics of being a winner and can't see the sadness of being a loser.
