专八题目：
Will Your Confidence Be Affected by External Factors?
专八范文：
Confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our life． It is said that confidence is oftenthe single ingredient that distinguishes a successful person from someone less successful． Yet many people only govern their behaviors based on what other people think， stay in their own comfort zones fearing failure and so avoiding taking risks， and oftentimes work hard to cover up mistakes and pray that they canfix the problem before anyone wiser． For those low-confidence people， they bear in their mind that somepeople are more competent， more beautiful， much wealthier than them， and hence they are reduced to frustrations．
自信对于生活的各个方面都非常重要。人们常说自信是区分成功和失败的唯一因素。但是，人们总是依据别人对自己的想法行事，人们总是希望待在舒适区域中，他们害怕失败，避免危险。有时，人们总是希望通过努力工作来掩盖错误，并希望他们是第一个解决问题的人。对于那些不自信的人来说，他们会认为有许多人都比他们聪明、漂亮、富有，这将会让他们感到沮丧。
However，confidence should not be affected by those differences in terms of appearance，wealth，and familyconnections．Firstly，as people can not improve their financial situations and change their appearancesovernight，they are likely to change their mindset to become confident．For those who believe that confidence is based on wealth，appearance，and other external factors， their confidence is measured by external factors．In line with this belief，we can assume that only the wealthy， the beautiful， the handsome and the famous are confident．I think this is not the case． In our daily lives， there are people who earn meager salaries but still are confident of their futures who have counted days due to terminal cancers but are still confident of fulfilling their childhood dreams． If those people base their confidence in current situations， they are doomed to live gloomy and sad lives， for the perception of oneself has an enormous impact on what they will do in their daily life． Therefore， confidence is built from within instead ofexternal factors．
但是，自信不应该受到外貌、家庭、财富的影响。首先，人们无法一夜之间改变自己的经济状况，改变自己的容貌，但是他们可以让自己变得更加自信。对于那些相信自信是来自财富、外貌、以及其他外界因素的人来说，他们的自信受到了外界的影响。对于这些人，我们认为只有美丽、成功的人拥有自信。我不这么认为。在日常的生活中，有许多人收入微薄，但是，那些患有癌症而进入晚期的病人，他们依然感到自信，他们还希望能够实现儿时的梦想。如果这些人能够把自信付诸于现实之中，那么，他们的生活将会一筹莫展，因为人们的思想将会对生活造成重大的影响。所以，自信来自心里，而非外界。
Secondly，despite that people always are in lack of something， they are likely to learn and build confidence step by step． No matter how average they are， they have achieved something in their lives to date and have strengths that they are not aware of． Tragically， human beings are always in pursuit of what theywant，but neglect what they have possessed． This also explains why they base their confidence on externalfactors Because those external factors only exist in their mind in the near future， they are not real andsolid．When people determine to set the journey to build confidence and carry things through by basing their confidence on what they have achieved and their strengths， no one can take it away， for they are realand solid．Gradually，confidence is build on and success is readily available， which will in return make people more confident．
第二，人们总会缺少什么，他们会一点一点地建立自信。不论他们有多么平庸，他们也获得了许多的东西，也有许多他们没有意识到的能力。有时，人们总是追求着他们想要的东西，而却忽略了他们已经拥有的事物。这就解释了为什么他们会把自信建立在外界因素上。因为那些外界因素只会建立在他们的心中，而不是真实的事物。当人们想要建立自信时，他们会把自信建立在他们已经获得，并且拥有的能力上，这些别人是拿不走的，因为这些是真实存在的。通常，如果人们建立了自信，成功就将不远，因为这些能够让人们变得更加自信。
In sum， confidence is built from within instead of from external factors． People can learn to be confident by appreciating what they have achieved and their unique strengths． In this sense， confidence should not be affected by external factors such as fame， wealth， power， and etc．
总结，自信是从心里产生的，而不是从外界得来的。人们可以通过他们获得的胜利来建立自信。从这一点看，自信不应该受到如名誉、财富、权利等的影响。
