Ello everyone! Before I begin my post, let me introduce our latest addition, ZhiHao, to be a writer in our blog (Okay, I know his name has been over there for eons already but still, he is pretty new to you guys right, since he hasn't written for us till this afternoon). His debut post is okay and there is no no need to feel negatively about it. =)

Okay, into my post now. Today's a boring day. Spent my entire day in school. Only incident worth highlighting would be the K-Box Session with my classmates. It was fun K-ing with them. And oh, I just realised that Cheryl has the best vocal in my class (or at least till this moment). Heh.

Actually,there isn't much to talk about today. Therefore, to keep you guys entertained, I have came up with another inspiration... Confidence level.

I believe that the majority of teenagers out there suffer from low self-confidence level. That is to say, most of them aren't decisive when it comes to making decisions and they have the tendency to follow the crowd.

I shall talk about the banes of having low self-confidence now. A person with low self-confidence doesn't believe in him/herself. Those classified as extreme cases even develop suicidal thoughts as they think that the world would be better off without them. Low self-confidence also serves as a big hindrance to the learning journey. People with low confidence usually have this mentality that they will not be able to succeed even if they give it a shot, and thus, more often than not, they end up not even trying at all. This group of people also tends to do things which they are good in, which means that their self-improvement over time are kept to the minimal level.

On the other hand, a person with high self-confidence (not talking about those who have "exceptionally" HIGH confidence though) is more likely to acquire new skills and knowledge at a faster rate. The mindset: I am sure I will be able to do it, speaks it all.

Now, the question is, how do we go about helping people to develop a high self-confidence level? This process, I believe, should start from home itself. Parents should compliment their children whenever appropriate but at the same time, ensure that punishments are meted out when the child did something wrong. Peers can also help one another through the use of more encouragements and less of criticisms.

The morale of the person is an extremely important factor in determining whether he/she will be able to succeed in life or not. So, when you are about to demoralise someone you know using snide remarks, think twice again. You could well be the one who caused his/her future to lie in ruins.

That's my two-cents. Good day to all.
