When faced with a big challenge where potential failure seems to lurk at every corner, maybe you've heard this advice before: Be more confident.
2
And most likely this is what you think when you hear it: If only it were that simple. But what is confidence?
3
Take the belief that you are valuable, worthwhile, and capable, also known as self -esteem,
4
add in the optimism that comes when you are certain of your abilities, and then empowered by these, act courageously to face a challenge head -on.
5
This is confidence.
6
It turns thoughts into action.
7
So where does confidence even come from?
8
There are several factors that impact confidence.
9
One, what you're born with, such as your genes, which will impact things like the balance of neurochemicals in your brain.
10
Two, how you're treated.
11
This includes the social pressures of your environment.
12
And three, the part you have control over, the choices you make, the risks you take, and how you think about and respond to challenges and setbacks.
13
It isn't possible to completely untangle these three factors, but the personal choices we make certainly play a major role in confidence development.
14
So, by keeping in mind a few practical tips, we do actually have the power to cultivate our own confidence.
15
Tip 1: A quick fix.
16
There are a few tricks that can give you an immediate confidence boost in the short term.
17

19

20
change, consider the way you think about your abilities and talents.
21
Do you think they are fixed at birth or that they can be developed like a muscle?
22
These beliefs matter because they can influence how you act when you're faced with setbacks.
23
If you have a fixed mindset, meaning that you think your talents are locked in place, you might give up assuming you've discovered something you're not very good at.
24
But if you have a growth mindset and think your abilities can improve, a challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.
25
Neuroscience supports the growth mindset.
26
The connections in your brain do get stronger and grow with study and practice.
27
It also turns out, on average, people who have a growth mindset are more successful, getting better grades, and doing better in the face of challenges.
28
Tip 3: Practice failure.
29
Face it, you're going to fail sometimes.
30
Everyone does.

"Harry Potter." The Wright brothers built on history's failed attempts at flight, including some of their own before designing a successful airplane.

Studies show that those who fail regularly
35
and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way.
36
They learn how to try different strategies, ask others for advice and persevere.
37
So, think of a challenge you want to take on.
38
Realize it's not going to be easy.
39
Accept that you'll make mistakes, and be kind to yourself when you do.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
