Confidence - A Tool To Success
(Syed Manazir-ul-Haq, Karachi)
CONFIDENCE – AN UNAVOIDABLE
INPUT TO SUCCESS
It has been often observed that many people despite intelligent and wise do not
achieve the desired and positive goals. Till the level of University from the
lap of schools some students are intelligent and prudent but if teachers ask
them some question suddenly they although knowing the answer properly do not
give the answer or in confusion answer wrongly. While if the same question is
asked with them in writing way they write its answer correctly. It means that
they are able in writing but not spoken which is a key to success because for
leadership and for presentation spoken skill rules the way. It is the best
communication tool which is prerequisite for success. The cause of shyness and
nervousness is lack of confidence. In fact the confidence is the quality through
which not only the best intelligent person but also average individuals can
achieve the notable success. A person having sound degree of knowledge and
intelligence if is deprived of confidence his success is very limited.
Confident people rule the way therefore with the growing abilities of other
spheres confidence ability should also be inculcated upon children so that they
not only by means of this could succeed in educational field but also could
achieve goals in all sectors of life especially in professional and practical
domains. Also, being a constructive civilian or individuals they could devote
their abilities in serving the nation, country and the society as well as the
country could benefit robustly with their skills and capabilities because a
person lacks of confidence cannot succeed in his own life how can give benefit
to nation and country. For example a healthy, wise and a learned person lacks
buoyancy and confidence can never become an officer of army on the other hand
compared to this individual a person having average knowledge and health not
only with the courtesy of poise can become a best soldier but also can get
victorious success having employed in the army. It is fact that assurance is the
key to success in any sector of life because without its existence a wise and
clever person also the man having good abilities and brain cannot success in his
own life not to speak of to help others. It is worth mentioning that on account
of deprivation of the quality of confidence man is become an idol figure and
civilian of the society. Therefore for success confidence is vital along with
labour and devotion.
Now a question arises how confidence is developed and got. Basically, confidence
is grown up and developed through debating, group discussions and making
presentation before the strange audience, students or public on different
topics. Promptly it is developed through childhood training but if the childhood
of some persons is passed in deprivations and they on account of their domestic
and surrounding atmosphere could not grow confidence in them they should not
disappoint as weeping for the past events creates mess and laziness. Man should
always look into the present and future and try to learn from past as well as
for his betterment strive on seriously and laboriously as well as leave the
result upon ALLAH. If any person does not have a good past it is not necessary
that his present and future are moaning.
It has been proved in the light of observations and experiences of the experts
of Psychology and Sociology that the persons who lead their lives in isolation,
un-friendliness low-talking and drown in his ideas actually these persons are
deprived of confidence and in the long run their habits are firmed. They have to
face hardships by step to step and not to speak of enormous difficulties they
even become confuse with tiny hardship which causes of fall for them. The best
way to get confidence is not to confine by-self having cut down from the world
but meet ALLAH in prayers and try to solve the problems of His slaves by
visiting the people – participate debating-games and social activities etc.
Moreover, if we want to be confident we shall have to get knowledge in all
spheres especially about the Holy Quran – what does Quran demand us? We shall
have to make presentation - express our views openly – listen to different
people on diverse topics - visit the resort areas as well as people – take
amusement etc. In this way all our confusion would go off and a positive gesture
will come i.e. we shall become a succeeded personality having the wealth of
confidence. Now we discuss what kind of helps the confidence provides to an
individual:
1) It helps the individual in achieving goals and objectives.
2) It helps the individual to learn the skills and expertise to be more
effective and dynamic anytime, anywhere.
3) It helps the individual to express his view point in a sound way.
4) It helps the individual to get self-development.
5) It helps the individual to compete competitive examination and interview.
6) It helps the individual to expose himself better in expression ways.
7) It helps the individual to overcome or to handle tension, frustration,
confusion, conflict and stress.
8) It helps the individual to leadership.
9) It helps the individual to eradicate fear in taking new and challenging
tasks.
10) It helps the individual in developing listening and speaking powers.
11) Last but not least confidence provides recognition to individual in all
walks of life and a balanced confident person can never fall by blessing of
ALLAH if he is free from proud and self-important.
