Knowing that Yan Zi was short, the King of Chu dug a hole five feet high beside the city gate. When Yan Zi came to the State of Chu, the King of Chu told people to close the city gate and let Yan Zi out of this hole.

" I'll wait here for a while, and you'll find out what kind of country Chu is. "The receptionist immediately told this to the king of Chu.

A little boy, wearing a cap and holding a bat and baseball, came to his backyard armed to the teeth. "I am the best batter in the world." He spoke confidently, threw the ball into the air, and then swung hard, but missed. Undaunted, he continued to pick up the ball, threw it into the air again and shouted, "I am the best batter." He waved again, but it was still a pity. He froze for a long time, and then carefully examined the bat and baseball. Then he tried again three times, and this time he told himself, "I am the best batter." However, his first attempt failed.

"Wow!" He jumped up suddenly. "I'm really a first-class pitcher."

(2) Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric Company of the United States, who is called "the world's first CEO", once famously said: "All management is centered on' self-confidence'." With this self-confidence, Welch showed extraordinary leadership skills during his 20 years as CEO of General Electric Company. Welch's self-confidence is inseparable from his family education. Welch's mother's concern for her son is mainly reflected in cultivating his self-confidence. Because she knows and has confidence, and then she can have everything.

Welch has suffered from stuttering since childhood. I have a lisp, so I often joke. Welch's mother tried her best to turn her son's defect into an inspiration. She often says to Welch, "This is because you are so smart that no one's tongue can keep up with your smart head." So since childhood, Welch never had the slightest worry about his stuttering. Because he believes his mother's words from the bottom of his heart: his brain turns faster than other people's tongues. Encouraged by his mother, stuttering did not hinder Welch's academic and career development. Moreover, most people who have noticed his weakness have given him some respect, because he can overcome this defect and stand out in the business world. Michael, president of NBC News, appreciates Welch. He even joked, "Jack is really good and efficient. I wish I could stutter myself. "

Welch is not tall, but he loves sports since he was a child. When he was in primary school, he wanted to sign up for the school basketball team. When he told his mother this idea, her mother encouraged him to say, "Do whatever you want, and you will succeed!" " So Welch joined the basketball team. At that time, he was almost three-quarters of the other players. However, because of his self-confidence, Welch never realized this, so that decades later, when he looked at the photos of himself and other teammates in the sports team, he was surprised to find that he was almost always the weakest one in the whole team.

The experience of playing in the school sports team as a teenager is very important for Welch's growth. He thinks his talents were trained on the court. He said: "everything we have experienced will be the cornerstone of our confidence." Throughout his student days, Welch's mother has been his most enthusiastic cheerleader. Almost all relatives, friends and neighbors have heard a story about her son told by Welch's mother, and at the end of each story, she will say that she is proud of her son.

While cultivating her son's self-confidence, she also told Welch that life is an endless struggle. You should be confident, but don't care too much about success or failure.

A person can't bring confidence to others unless he has confidence; Only the persuaded can convince others.

Nixon is the president of the United States that we are very familiar with, but it is such a great man who ruined his political future because of an unconfident mistake. 1972, Nixon was re-elected. Because of his outstanding achievements in his first term, most political commentators predicted that Nixon would win by a landslide. However, Nixon himself was not confident. He can't get out of the psychological shadow of past failures and is extremely worried about failing again. Driven by this subconscious, he did a stupid thing that he regretted for life. He assigned his men to sneak into the Watergate Hotel at his opponent's headquarters and put a bug in his opponent's office. After the incident, he repeatedly stopped investigating and shirked his responsibility, and was forced to resign shortly after winning the election. Nixon, who was a shoo-in, was defeated for lack of self-confidence.

The other is the story of Seiji Ozawa's triumph over self-confidence. Seiji Ozawa is a world-famous symphony conductor. In the final of a world-class conductor competition, he played according to the score given by the jury, and keenly found the discordant voice. At first, he thought the band had made a mistake, so he stopped to play again, but it was still wrong. He thinks there is something wrong with music. At this time, the composer present and the authority of the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, but he was wrong. Facing a lot of music masters and authorities, he thought over and over again, and finally said firmly and loudly, "No! The score is definitely wrong! " As soon as his voice fell, the judges on the bench immediately stood up and gave him warm applause to congratulate him on winning the game. It turns out that this is a "trap" carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductor can stick to his correct opinion when he finds that the score is wrong and is "denied" by authoritative people.
