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.
