“Self-esteem and self-confidence are necessary to success, do you agree?”
Self-esteem is the means by which an individual has confidence in themselves or a good opinion about themselves and self- confidence is the means by which an individual trusts their own abilities, quality and judgement. A balanced self-esteem and self-confidence are both important and relevant for every human being in their lives, it helps one gain inner confidence and a good opinion of themselves. If you have low self-esteem and self-confidence, you often believe negative about a situation or yourself and you may focus on what you feel are your weaknesses, and mistakes that you have made, you also do not trust yourself as much as you should. Having high self-esteem and self-confidence can sometimes lead to an increase in self-obsession and thinking you are capable of anything. It is important for students to have self-esteem and self-confidence as it helps students take responsibility over things they are capable of doing, as it means the students will approach situations in a positive way. In this essay I will discuss and argue if I believe self-esteem and self-confidence is necessary to success or not.
