Li Dan is an exchange student in a British high school. She sat next to a girl name Diana. The headmaster told the students that the best way earn respect was to devote themselves to study and achieve high grade.

Three Signs of True Confidence
Many people mistakenly believe that confident people are somehow special and unique. The truth about confidence is that it's an acquired skill. 1.Even fewer remain confident through the painful process of adolescence and adulthood. Here is what true confidence looks like:
They are quietly strong and firm2.They know their self-worth, and they've also learned humility(谦逊).Their achievements are part of who they are, but they're not all that they are. Often they experience diversity in their life. They learn that material success comes and goes, but the steady strength that fuels their core can never be taken away from them.
They are sympathetic and happy to see others succeed. 3.They never feel threatened by another person's beauty, wealth, talent or success. They don't deny others 'opportunities and support. You will often see a confident person encourage others. They know that another person's success does not diminish(减少)their own.
They are independent from outside approval. Confident people are not afraid of criticism, because their realistic feeling of self-worth acts as an acid test that allows them to differentiate between helpful criticism and personal attacks. They like to learn from the former, and dismiss the latter. They know that they can't please everyone, and they don't waste their time trying. 4. The main guiding force in their lives is their own internal compass.
5.It has to be learned and earned, often through years of questioning and mistakes. It requires open-mindedness, a strong sense of personal responsibility, and much emotional maturity. But it is rarely easy to obtain but it is worth the effort.
A.Very few people are born with it.
B.Gaining true confidence isn't easy.
C.Confident people never seek outside approval.
D.Many people pretend to have confidence, which is wrong.
E.Today, I'm inviting you to open yourself up to true confidence.
F.Confident people don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone.
G.They never tease or put down others to make themselves feel better
