英語美文朗讀 第301期 True nature of confidence

Confidence isn't walking into a room thinking that you're better than anyone. It's walking in knowing that you don't have to compare yourself to anyone. Comparing yourself to another person. That isn't even in your system. There's no thought of comparison. There is no competition with any other human. You are not above anyone. You are not below anyone. That's confidence.

自信，不是認(rèn)為自己比所有人都好，而是明白你不需要跟任何人比較。你不會把自己和別人作比較，你壓根不會這樣去想。你不會跟任何人攀比，你不比誰好，你也不比誰差。這才是自信。

When you can get to the place in your life, where comparison is dead, where you are good enough, not to others, but to yourself. That is confidence. And you can be good enough right now, because you are good enough, right now. You might just need to change your mindset.

你不去比較，你知道你已經(jīng)夠好了，這是對于自己而言夠好了，而不是跟他人相比夠好了，當(dāng)你到達(dá)了這樣的境界，你才擁有了自信。現(xiàn)在，你就已經(jīng)足夠好了。沒錯，就是現(xiàn)在。也許你只需要改變自己的心態(tài)。

Confidence can be developed in many ways. You can start with your physiology, your posture. If I asked you what a confident person looked like, would you be able to tell me? Of course, you would. They look strong, sure of themselves. How are they standing? They are standing tall. How are their shoulders? They are back, upright. They make eye contact. Their head is up, not down.

培養(yǎng)自信有很多種方式，你可以從心態(tài)做起，從姿態(tài)做起。如果我問你，一個自信的人是什么樣的，你能夠告訴我嗎？肯定能。自信的人，他們看起來很強(qiáng)大，他們對自己很有把握。他們站姿如何？他們站得挺拔，高大。他們的肩膀是怎么樣的？他們雙肩打開，胸膛筆直。他們敢直視別人，他們的昂首挺胸，而不是畏畏縮縮。

Now a shy or introverted person might say, yeah, well, that's all good for outgoing people, but I will never be confident. Anyone can develop confidence. Some might have to work on it harder than others because they have conditioned themselves into a lack of confidence for much of their life. But anyone can develop confidence. Even the majority of shy people have moments where they aren't shy, like around people they trust. Maybe family, friends or their partner. Moments where they can be themselves fully.

聽到這些，靦腆的人或者內(nèi)向的人，可能會說，好吧，這對那些外向開朗的人確實(shí)挺有用的，但是我這種人永遠(yuǎn)做不到自信。任何人都能培養(yǎng)自信心，有的人需要付出更多的努力，因?yàn)樗麄円呀?jīng)習(xí)慣了不自信。但是，事實(shí)就是，每個人都能培養(yǎng)自信。就算是大多數(shù)害羞的人，他們也有不害羞的時候，比如和自己信任的人待在一起時，比如家人，朋友，伴侶。他們也有感到自在的時候。

So, the shyness is selective, which means you can make confidence permanent if you consciously decide to be the person and do the things you do, not just around those you trust the most, but all the time. Being confident doesn't mean you are loud. It isn't about being the one that has to be noticed. It's the opposite. It's knowing you're great, without having to be seen. It's the silent winner. It's the humble champion.

所以，害羞是有選擇性的。這就意味著，如果你下定決心變成自信的人，以自信的方式做事，不僅是在那些你信任的人周圍這樣做，而是每時每刻都如此，那么你就能一直保持自信。自信，并不意味著你講話很大聲，并不意味著你要讓別人都注意到你。恰恰相反，自信，是知道自己很棒，不必強(qiáng)求讓別人關(guān)注自己。自信，意味著你是無聲的贏家，你是謙虛的勝利者。

If you lack confidence, you can change. If you lack anything, you can change. You can have anything in life, including radical personality change if you are committed to finding the answers. Unlock the greatest version of yourself. Your true nature of confidence, of pure positive energy. Unlock your authentic power today.

如果你缺乏自信，你可以做出改變。如果你缺乏任何東西，你都能做出改變。如果你下定決心去解決問題，那么你可以擁有任何你想要的東西，包括徹底的性格轉(zhuǎn)變。釋放最好的自己吧，展現(xiàn)你最真實(shí)的自信，最真實(shí)的正能量。從今天開始，釋放你最真實(shí)的能量！
