相信自己行，才能大胆尝试，接受挑战。为此，我们要在回忆过去成功的经历中体验信心。同时，更要多做，力争把事情做成，从中受到更多的鼓舞。在尝试中，会有些失败和错误。如果我们相信爱迪生所说的‘没有失败，只有离成功更进一点儿’，那么，对于前进过程中的问题、困难乃至失败，就能看的淡一点儿，从容应对，把注意力集中到完成任务上，不断增强实力。而实力，才是撑起信心的最重要支柱。
Sure You Can
Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk?
First you had to learn to stand:
a process involving constantly falling down, then getting back up.
You laughed sometimes and cried at other times.
Somehow there was a determination and conviction that you would succeed,
no matter what.
After much practice you finally figure out how to balance yourself,
[00:32.38]a necessary requirement. You enjoyed this new feeling of power
—you’d stand everywhere you could—in your crib, by the couch.
It was a joyous time——you did it! You were in control of you.
Now—the next step—walking.
You’d seen others do it—it didn’t look that hard
—just move your legs while you were standing.
Wrong - more complexity than you ever imagined.
More frustration than anyone should have to deal with.
But you tried, again and again and again until you figured this out.
If people caught you walking, they applauded, they laughed, it was,
"Oh my God, look at what he’s/she’s doing".
This encouragement fueled you on; it raised your self-confidence.
But how many times did you attempt when no one was watching,
when no one was cheering?
You couldn’t wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps.
You learned how to encourage yourself.
If we could only remember this about ourselves in today’s day.
Remember that we can do anything we set our minds to
if we are willing to go through the process,
just like when we learned to walk.
We don’t need to wait for others to encourage us;
we need to encourage ourselves.
If you’ve forgotten how to do this,
or feel like your self-esteem needs a boost,
take a short journey back through your life
—look at your accomplishments,
no matter if they were large or small
—you met the challenge and figured out a way to succeed.
While going back, look for the little child you once were.
Thank them for never giving up.
As you wave goodbye, remember they will never give up on you.
They have believed in you all of your life!
Now you need to believe in you too!
Remember, today is the best day of your life
because yesterday was and tomorrow may only be.
