People who are self-confident love and value their achievements. Even though everyone lacks confidence at some point in time, there are people who feel unhappy about themselves most of time. They are filled with low esteem and have little or no trust in themselves.

Having confidence or self-confidence shows the level of faith and trust you have in whatever you can do (ability). However, being sefl-confident doesn’t mean you can do everythinng. You have to be realistic in whatever you do. Your goals and expectations should be realistic.

Self-confident people have the winning mindset in the way they think, act, feel about others and how successful they become in life. Self-confidence lets you have a positive and realistic veiw about yourself. Those who are self-confident aren’t afraid of challenges. They are courageous enough to stand up for what they believe.

However, not everybody is born with self-confidence and as a result will suffer from low self-esteem and are usually very critical of themselves and will go as far downplay or even ignore any positive quality they have.
