Self-confidence means the firm belief that you can do things well. If you want to succeed in doing anything, you must have confidence in your ability. Otherwise, you may hardly achieve anything. Some people always complain about how difficult their tasks would be and how incapable they are. They often refuse to have a try, and therefore have no opportunity to overcome difficulties in order to get themselves improved. Apparently, this shows their lack of self-confidence.

自信心就是堅定地認為你能夠做好某事。如果你想成功，你就應當對于自己的能力十分自信。一些人常常抱怨說，他們的任務多么地艱巨，自己又是多么地無法勝任。他們經常拒絕嘗試，因為根本就沒有機會克服困難，提高自己。很明顯，這說明他們缺乏自信。

There are several reasons why people feel frustrated or discouraged in face of difficulties. Firstly, they underestimate themselves. Second, they tend to overestimate the difficulties. Third, they are afraid of making mistakes or getting failures.

為什么人們在困難面前會感到沮喪和泄氣呢？首先，他們低估了自己。其次，他們往往高估了困難。最后他們害怕犯錯誤，害怕失敗。

It is important for young people to build up self-confidence. As a proverb goes,” confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to success.” we should make sufficient preparations and encourage ourselves before setting about doing anything in order to achieve success, which may help us gain self-confidence. We should have a right attitude toward our ability and should never look down upon ourselves. In addition, we don’t have to be afraid of mistakes or failures, for we can learn from mistakes and “failure is the mother of success”.

年輕人樹立自信心是十分重要的，有則諺語講到，“自信是通往成功的第一步?！睘榱巳〉贸晒Γ谥肿鍪碌臅r候，我們應當做好充分的準備，不斷鼓勵自己，這樣才能獲得自信。對于自己的能力我們應當有一個正確的態(tài)度，永遠不要小看自己。此外，我們還不要害怕失敗和錯誤，因為失敗是成功之母，我們可以從失敗中學習。
