these are strategies how to build your self-confidence

Building Self-Confidence

So how do you build this sense of balanced self-confidence, founded on a firm appreciation of reality?
The bad news is that there’s no quick fix, or five-minute solution.
The good news is that becoming more confident is readily achievable, just as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is that the things you’ll do to build your self-confidence will also build success – after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No-one can take this away from you!
So here are our three steps to self-confidence, for which we’ll use the metaphor of a journey: preparing for your journey; setting out; and accelerating towards success.

Step 1: Preparing for Your Journey

The first step involves getting yourself ready for your journey to self-confidence. You need to take stock of where you are, think about where you want to go, get yourself in the right mindset for your journey, and commit yourself to starting it and staying with it.
In preparing for your journey, do these five things:

Look at What You've Already Achieved

Think about your life so far, and list the ten best things you've achieved in an "Achievement Log." Perhaps you came top in an important test or exam, played a key role in an important team, produced the best sales figures in a period, did something that made a key difference in someone else’s life, or delivered a project that meant a lot for your business.
Put these into a smartly formatted document, which you can look at often. And then spend a few minutes each week enjoying the success you’ve already had!

Think About Your Strengths

Next, use a technique like SWOT Analysis to take a look at who and where you are. Looking at your Achievement Log, and reflecting on your recent life, think about what your friends would consider to be your strengths and weaknesses. From these, think about the opportunities and threats you face.
Make sure that you enjoy a few minutes reflecting on your strengths!

Think About What's Important to You, and Where You Want to Go

Next, think about the things that are really important to you, and what you want to achieve with your life.
Setting and achieving goals is a key part of this, and real confidence comes from this. Goal setting is the process you use to set yourself targets, and measure your successful hitting of those targets. 
Inform your goal setting with your SWOT Analysis. Set goals that exploit your strengths, minimize your weaknesses, realize your opportunities, and control the threats you face.
And having set the major goals in your life, identify the first step in each. Make sure it’s a very small step, perhaps taking no more than an hour to complete!

Start Managing Your Mind

At this stage, you need to start managing your mind. Learn to pick up and defeat the negative self-talk which can destroy your confidence. This trick is to teaches you how to use and create strong mental images of what you'll feel and experience as you achieve your major goals – there’s something about doing this that makes even major goals seem achievable!

And Then Commit Yourself to Success!

The final part of preparing for the journey is to make a clear and unequivocal promise to yourself that you are absolutely committed to your journey, and that you will do all in your power to achieve it.
If as you’re doing it, you find doubts starting to surface, write them down and challenge them calmly and rationally. If they dissolve under scrutiny, that’s great. However if they are based on genuine risks, make sure you set additional goals to manage these appropriately. For help with evaluating and managing the risks you face

Ya,  selfie  atau yang dulu kita kenal dengan narsis adalah istilah baru yang kini sedang digandrungi banyak orang, utamanya kaum muda di negeri kita ini. Foto selfie biasanya dilakukan seseorang untuk menunjukkan dirinya, semisal kecantikan, ketampanan, kebersamaan, ataupun kegilaan. Hanya untuk sekedar bersenang-senang dan sebagai kenang-kenangan agar tidak kehilangan momen berharga bersama sahabat maupun kerabat. Biasanya, foto diambil dari jarak dekat, sehingga berfokus ke wajah saja. Siapa sih, yang tidak tahu  selfie ?  apalagi  kita termasuk ke dalam orang-orang yang biasa atau setidaknya pernah berfoto gaya selfie ini. Nah, biasanya foto-foto jenis ini tidak pernah absen menghiasi sosial media semacam facebook, twitter, path, BBM, instagram, dan sejenisnya. Dari foto ekspresi wajar, sampai yang berani gila-gilaan sehingga terkadang bukannya terlihat bagus malah membuat kita  ilfeel melihatnya. Tapi itu wajar, tidak satu dua orang saja yang mela...

Plato's Pedagogy

Plato distinguishes between education as pedagogy—the art of teaching—and the desire for learning. As far as education is concerned, truth ( alētheia ) is unveiled in a three-step process. First, there is the example of the person whose soul boldly faces the sun, and to whom truth addresses itself. This person has no difficulty ascertaining the Good. This individual is a self-motivated seeker of truth. This mode of self-awareness is intuitive. Secondly, there is the person who has their back turned to the “light,” and who, as a consequence, requires education to make them “see.” It is probably correct to assume that this is where Socrates’ analogy of philosophy as a midwife is best exemplified. Thirdly, there is the person who, for as long as they live, will remain a voluntary prisoner in the darkness of the cave. For such a person, education will merely amount to training. This is the rationally blind person who cannot be helped, because no one can furnish his eyes with sight. Know...

Namun, di tempat ini, motor yang dipakai dilengkapi dengan sespan yang relatif besar, sehingga bisa memuat lebih banyak orang. Di Siantar, ada ojek terkenal yang dikenal dengan sebutan Becak Siantar.
