Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

*Walk Faster

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 1.

* 2.

One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, opportunities to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal commercial. Write a 30-60 second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals. Then recite it in front of the mirror aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

* Sit in the Front Row

In schools, offices and some other public places, people always sit at the back of the room. 3.. This reflects a lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence

* Speak Up

During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid 4.. By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you will become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts and recognized as a leader by your peers(同龄人)

* Work Out

Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has a huge effect on self-confidence. 5. By making your body fit and strong. You improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and accomplish something positive.

A.Listen to an Inspiring Speech

B.Create a Personal Speech

C.In fact most people feel good after a walk.

D.Most people prefer that because they are afraid of being noticed.

E.In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

F.Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.

Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.

The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.

After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
