selves or have negative thoughts about ourselves than others will never make us to belief in

remind the false pride to yourself for positive thoughts. Don’t be critical all the time, we can fix
mistakes by praising or appreciation and ignore the bad things to reinforce positive behavior, just
ignore all the wrong things you’re doing during task performing, just focus on positive, make your
own perception, how you did, just always think of that there is chance, and interpret the things, the
way you want to think, it will make you believe in yourself, we supposed to be different.

The problem that speaker mentioned was we expect to be self-confident, but we can’t unless the skill
or the task we doing is not novel or new to us, we want to be in situation where we think that we have
done this thousands of times.
