No matter who you are, a little self-confidence can go a long way toward making your dreams come true.

You Will Need
A role model who exudes confidence
A video camera
A pad and pen
A playful attitude
And a few positive thoughts
A full-length mirror
And a tape recorder

Step 1: Consider someone confident（想想你身边自信的人的优缺点）
Think about someone who you feel radiates self-assuredness. Consider all of his or her traits and mannerisms, and then write down those that project confidence.

Step 2: List your positive traits（多想想自己的优点）
List all of your positive attributes, both personal and professional. Maybe you’re a good listener or a dependable employee. Review your list a few times and give yourself a big pat on the back.

Step 3: Record yourself（用摄像头拍下自信的自己）
Set up a video camera and record yourself role-playing an entire situation that requires confidence. Focus on your role model and your personal strengths.

If you don’t have access to a video camera, stand in front of a full-length mirror and speak into a tape recorder.

Step 4: Review your performance（翻开录像带看看）
Review your performance, starting with your posture to your gesture. Anxiety often comes through in non-verbal clues, like hand-wringing or slumped shoulders. Come up with ways to handle these habits.

Step 5: Listen to yourself（自信的人声音要有底气）
Listen to your voice. Confident people speak at an audible level while those who speak in a hushed tone are perceived as insecure.

If you think you sound too stern, smile when speaking. Your voice will automatically take on a lighter tone.

Step 6: Watch what you say（用“肯定”“当然”这样的词来代替“有可能”“或许”）
Pay attention to your choice of words. Replace wishy-washy terms like “sort of” and “maybe” with more definite words like “certainly” and “definitely.”

Step 7: Practice（多多练习）
Reevaluate all of your observations and continue to practice being “the new you.” Your confidence, as well as your communication skills and persuasiveness, will rapidly grow.

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.”
