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.

For example: Imagine your child goes to school and they are too humble about their achievements in class or something that happened over the weekend with all of their friends. They do not want to speak up for fear of being embarrassed in front of others who might be smarter. But who defines, being smarter? So, they need to speak up because their thoughts are valuable and have just as much worth as those who might be the smartest.

Being humble is not always a bad thing but can hinder you from being heard or opening doors for yourself in your life. Sometimes it’s better to stop caring about what others think of you and instead focus on how you see yourself. There is a time and place for modesty but if you have something to say, don’t hesitate.
