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.
