Self confidence is freedom from doubt; it is an individual's assurance in his capability and deliverance. It is an important quality that should be possessed by all individuals so that they can learn to have faith in themselves and the work they perform.

There are a lot of times when an individual might face the lows of life and it is our self confidence that holds us strong in such situations and keeps us going. Low self confidence leads to low self esteem and makes an individual a complete introvert and a shy person. Such individuals often don't have any faith in what they can do. They fear failure and are scared to take up projects or assignments they have not done before.

No man on this planet is born with this quality. It is a trait we develop with our experiences, especially as a child. Our childhood can have a great deal of influence on our self confidence. A good childhood full of fine experiences can enhance your self esteem and will let you believe in yourself, which is the key to being a self confident individual.

Even as a grown up, it is possible to adopt this quality; it only takes a little extra hard work and dedication. One must learn to have faith in themselves and try doing new and adventurous things that you wouldn't do otherwise. This will only enhance our skills and will boost our confidence.

Being confident is a good quality an individual can possess, however one must be careful not to become over confident. Over confidence makes it difficult to enhance your skills further, as you already believe that you are the best. Over confidence throws the possibility out of our minds that someone else could be better than us at a particular task and if we want to excel in it we need to work hard.

So one should always learn to draw a line between being self confidence and over confident. Trust yourself and have faith in your capability with a clear understanding of your skills. This will not only increase your self confidence but will also make you a better human being.
