If you want to ask all office workers, what are you most afraid of in the workplace? I guess the answer for many people would be “no confidence” - they are not confident in completing the arduous tasks assigned by their supervisors, or they are not confident in facing the treacherous and complicated office politics.
As the saying goes, “If you are wandering in the world, how can you avoid getting stabbed?” It is inevitable to encounter setbacks in the workplace. In fact, everyone does not need to be afraid of falling, but should be able to get up quickly after falling…
As for getting along with others, it is also full of knowledge. Even if you meet new friends or colleagues, you may not be able to hit it off. If we want to reach the stage of having a happy conversation or mutual support, we must go through some communication, coordination and integration; in fact, we need to open our hearts to tolerate and accept each other before we can achieve harmonious interaction and communication.
Not only in terms of interpersonal relationships, we need to build confidence through some actions. In terms of work, we also need to cultivate confidence in our abilities.
When we first start working in a certain professional field, we will definitely encounter many bottlenecks, and even get stuck from time to time. These are common phenomena. If you have a supervisor or senior who can lead you, you may be able to unlock the “novice on the road” achievement soon; but if you are not lucky enough, you may have to explore for a long time on your own before you can gradually understand the gist and methods of the work and get on track.
There are as many as seven billion people in this world, and everyone has a different personality. Some people are naturally energetic and know how to socialize, while others are shy and introverted and only know how to work quietly… To be honest, there is a big difference in nature. But I want to tell you that building self-confidence is really important. It not only helps to improve your resistance to stress, but also makes your performance at work or life more perfect.
Everyone knows: “Rome was not built in a day.” Building self-confidence does not happen overnight, especially in the work field. Although it is not easy, it is not impossible. We just need to have some methods and practice it. You know, sometimes confidence is even “forced”.
The reason why many people feel uncomfortable in the workplace or find it difficult to use their skills is actually due to their studies. For example, some friends may choose to study a popular major in a university because they listen to their parents’ opinions or based on test scores… But if they are not interested in this major, it will be difficult to devote themselves to it and continue to study this major over time.
If you are reading this article and are still studying in college or graduate school, I would suggest that you figure out your interests and passions as soon as possible. This is the first step towards success. If you can combine your interests and majors, it will also help improve your self-confidence when you apply for a job or get a job in the future!
If you already know that you are particularly interested in something, I really recommend investing more time and effort in these areas. For example, if you are particularly fond of culture and art, I suggest you go to various art activities or exhibitions so that you can stand on the shoulders of giants and look into the distance. Speaking for myself, I will always remember the shock of admiring those historical relics when I visited the Palace Museum and the British Museum…
Of course, in addition to sightseeing and visits, you can also dabble in more artistic and literary information, try to immerse yourself in the artistic atmosphere, and then cultivate your own unique perspectives and appreciation abilities. Over time, you will naturally be able to strengthen your artistic literacy and gain your own insights into things in this field.
The first step to developing self-confidence is to find something you love and invest a lot of time and effort into it. Then, the second step is to only compare yourself with yesterday’s self, hoping to make a little progress every day. Don’t worry about not being good enough or keeping up with others.
Next, the third step is to get rid of the inferiority complex and be more patient with yourself. Everyone’s conditions and environment are different. Even if people are tall, short, fat or thin, everyone must have their own innate advantages and characteristics. Trying to magnify your strengths and minimize your weaknesses can also enhance your self-confidence!
I really like this sentence from Runmi Consulting Chairman [Liu Run] (https://tw.weibo.com/runliu): “Diligence is an attitude. Excellence is a pursuit.” Let’s work hard together!
If the above methods are not effective, I think you can also try “confidence hints”. If you hope to engage in an art career in the future, you may wish to write “I hope to be a curator” in your diary, or write down your thoughts and wishes on a sticky note, and then stick it somewhere you can see it at any time. On the one hand, I encourage myself, and on the other hand, I also remind myself to put more effort into realizing this dream.
Confidence can’t just stay in imagination forever, it must be realized with practical actions! Whatever your favorite field is? I would like to suggest that you must determine your ambition early and then work hard to achieve it.
With “Breaking Trends: How Small Changes Can Cause Big Pandemics” and “[Odd Numbers: Where is the line between the extraordinary and the ordinary?” [Malcan. Malcolm Gladwell once said that creativity is not something that comes easily, but requires a lot of time to cultivate and practice. If you’ve figured out what you love in life, invest some time in practicing it!
After you have “10,000 hours” of experience, I believe you will be more confident in your professional abilities and performance, and naturally more confident! Confidence is a skill that can be acquired through training. Let’s start taking action now!
The reason why people see geniuses as extraordinary is not because of their superior talent, but because of their continuous efforts. Ten thousand hours training is a necessary condition for anyone to transform from ordinary to extraordinary.
