Many factors may make a contribution toone’s success, such as diligence, honesty, patience, responsibility and so on.Besides, as far as I am concerned, self-confidence is also an important andindispensable factor to contribute to one’s success.

有很多因素可以促使一個成功，如勤奮，誠實，耐心，責任等。此外，在我看來，自信也是促成成功不可或缺的重要環節。

The following reasons can account for my above opinion. First,self-confidence is a kind of self-affirmation for our ability. A successful manis bound to believe in himself first so that he has courage and power to makesome achievements. On the contrary, if he has great ability but does notbelieve himself enough, he will not be able to play his ability and power or atleast can’t play fully. Second, self-confidence is a great motivation for us tokeep trying and keep going. A self-confident man will try his best to achievehis goal again and again rather than say “no” or give up when he is confrontedwith hardship. In addition, a self-confident but not arrogant man usuallybrings some positive influence to the whole situation in a team. People aroundthe man will be affected by his confidence and become confident for theirteamwork.

以下幾個理由可以解釋我的觀點。首先，自信是對自己能力的一種肯定。一個成功的人首先一定要相信自己，這樣他才有勇氣和力量去做出一些成績。相反，如果他有很有能力，卻不相信自己的話，他將無法發揮自己的能力和力量，至少不能充分發揮。第二，自信是我們不斷努力前進的動機。一個自信的人會竭盡全力一次又一次的實現自己的目標而不是在面臨困難的時候說“不”或放棄。此外，一個有自信而不傲慢的人通常會給整個團隊帶來積極的影響。周圍的人都會被他的信心影響，從而對他們的團隊有信心。

In summary, self-confidence is a significant character and qualityin one’s success. Therefore, we should try to develop our confidence but notarrogance to some extent so that we can succeed in our study or work.

總之，在人的成功道路中自信是很重要的因素。因此，我們要努力讓我們在某種程度上自信而不自大，這樣我們才可以在學習或工作上取得成功。
