Confidence（自信） is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude（态度）. A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. Here are some suggestions (建议)about how to be more confident（自信的）.
Speak aloud. When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak aloud enough so that people can hear you clearly.
The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
Encourage （鼓励）yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.
Pick up a hobby. If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.
Get rid of（消除）fear. Fear comes along with failure（失败）. But it's easy to overcome if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.
