Humble or Dumb? The Importance of Being Confident in Your Abilities
Confidence is an important quality to have in life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a janitor or the President of the United States, confidence will help you succeed in whatever it is that you do.
If you’re going to be successful, then there are certain things that need to happen – one being that you need to believe in yourself and your abilities!
But does this mean that we should feel arrogant? Absolutely not. In fact, arrogance can actually lead people away from what they want because it’s unattractive and unappealing (especially when it comes out at inappropriate times). What is so great about being humble? It is important to have a balance between humility and intelligence.
Many factors come into play like when dealing with society, friends, family, or the occasional stranger on-the-street.
People can underestimate your ability either because of how you present yourself or assessing your position in life. We need to be confident in our abilities so that we can assert our voice and have a stronger, more confident impact on the world.
