What is Self-Confidence?

Two main things contribute to self-confidence: self-efficacy and self-esteem.

We gain a sense of self-efficacy when we see ourselves (and others similar to ourselves) mastering skills and achieving goals that matter in those skill areas. This is the confidence that, if we learn and work hard in a particular area, we’ll succeed; and it’s this type of confidence that leads people to accept difficult challenges, and persist in the face of setbacks.

This overlaps with the idea of self-esteem, which is a more general sense that we can cope with what’s going on in our lives, and that we have a right to be happy. Partly, this comes from a feeling that the people around us approve of us, which we may or may not be able to control. However, it also comes from the sense that we are behaving virtuously, that we’re competent at what we do, and that we can compete successfully when we put our minds to it.

Some people believe that self-confidence can be built with affirmations and positive thinking. At Mind Tools, we believe that there’s some truth in this, but that it’s just as important to build self-confidence by setting and achieving goals – thereby building competence. Without this underlying competence, you don’t have self-confidence: you have shallow over-confidence, with all of the issues, upset and failure that this brings.

 

NOUN

 

Definition: A noun is a word used to refer to people, animals, objects, substances, states, events and feelings. Nouns can be a subject or an object of a verb, can be modified by an adjective and can take an article or determiner.For example: Table Pencil The dog A white house   Nouns also denote abstract and intangible concepts. For example: birth happiness evolution technology, etc.   Noun Plurals We are going to explain some rules that will help you to form the plural forms of the nouns. The general rule is to add “-s” to the noun in singular. For exaample: Book – Books House – Houses Chair – Chairs   When the singular noun ends in: -sh, -ch, -s, -ss, -x, -o we form their plural form by adding “-es”. For exaample: sandwich – sandwiches brush – brushes bus – buses box – boxes potato – potatoes   When the singular noun ends in “y”, we change the “y” for “i” and then add “-es” to form the plural form. But do not change the “y” for “ies” to form the plural when the singular noun ends in “y” preceded by a vowel. For exaample: nappy – nappies day – days toy – toys   However, there are many Irregular Nouns which do not form the plural in this way: For exaample: Woman – Women Child – Children Sheep – Sheep   Nouns may take an ” ‘s ” (“apostrophe s”) or “Genitive marker” to indicatepossession. If the noun already has an -s ending to mark the plural, then the genitive marker appears only as an apostrophe after the plural form. For example: my girlfriend‘s brother John‘s house The Browns‘ house The boys‘ pens   The genitive marker should not be confused with the “ ‘s ” form of contracted verbs, as in John‘s a good student = John is a good student. Noun Gender Many common nouns, like “engineer” or “teacher”, can refer to men or women. Once, many English nouns would change form depending on their gender. For example: A man was called an “author” while a woman was called an “authoress”. For example: David Garrick was a very prominent eighteenth-century actor. Sarah Siddons was at the height of her career as an actress in the 1780s. The manager was trying to write a want ad, but he couldn’t decide whether he was advertising for a “waiter” or a “waitress“   Types of Nouns Proper nouns are the names of specific things, people, or places, such as Jhon, France. They usually begin with a capital letter. Common nouns are general names such as person, mansion, and book. They can be either concrete or abstract. Concrete nouns refer to things which you can sense such as clock and telephone. Abstract nouns refer to ideas or qualities such as liberty and truth. Countable nouns refer to things which can be counted (can be singular or plural) Uncountable nouns refer to some groups of countable nouns, substances, feelings and types of activity (can only be singular)

किसी पिता ने खूब कहा है कि
मुझे इतनी फुर्सत कहाँ ,
कि मै अपनी तकदीर का लिखा देखूं ,
बस मै अपने बच्चों की मुस्कराहट देख कर समझ जाता हूँ
कि मेरी तक़दीर बुलंद है ..
