Introduction
Self-confidence is about how much a person believes he or she can be successful in a specific situation. It is an attitude towards ourselves, which helps us improve and achieve our goals. It is especially needed when we face challenging situations, because it gives us the confidence to try and persist in overcoming the difficulties. Confident people aim higher and achieve more. Other people evaluate us very much on the basis of the self-confidence we demonstrate. That is why it is an important characteristic that we should work on developing in ourselves and it will help us on the way to finding our place in life and in the job also.
