Confidence（自信）is very important in daily life. A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful（成功）. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions（建议）:
Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can not hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports Exercise makes you tired but completely（完全地）relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
Encourage（鼓励）yourself Write down a list of things you do during the day to see how many things you do well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.
Get rid of fear（摆脱恐惧）Fear comes along with failure（失败）. But it's easy to overcome（克服）if you know that failure is part of your life. Try to start again and believe you can do better.
Pick up a hobby. If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you happy.
