关于自信的英语演讲稿(3)

self-confident people don’t undermine their own worth by comparing themselves with others, only to conclude that they aren’t “good enough”. they appreciate their strengths and accomplishments and can acknowledge, without embarrassment, their weaknesses. they don’t live in the “victim” position. even if something really bad has occurred, they turn it into a challenge, remembering to be grateful for the little things in life.

self-confident people let the world know who they are. if they want something badly enough, they know they have every right to “go for it.” yet, they also know that the path will rarely be easy. mistakes, blunders and failures are part of the learning process. they seek to learn from their mistakes and do not waste time torturing themselves over what “could have been”.

self-confident people are not obstinate people. if they have an idea about something and it differs from the way another person is thinking about it, they will usually try to look at it from that person’s point of view, see why it makes sense to them. yet, a confident person’s sense of self is grounded. it does not blow in the wind. their ideas do not fluctuate based on what others deem are important.

as president of english club, i organized the rehearsal of snow white for an english party. unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. it had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in english. suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and i knew i would have to be the dwarf. to my great surprise and delight, once on stage, i was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. as the dwarf, i was a big hit.

yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.

a world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. the real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.
