The famous Russian dramatist Stanevsky once rehearsed a play when the heroine suddenly Unable to perform for some reason, Stanevsky could not find anyone, so he had to ask his eldest sister to take on the role. His eldest sister used to be a costume and prop manager, but now she suddenly played the leading role, which made her feel inferior and timid. Her performance was extremely poor, which aroused Stanislavsky's irritability and dissatisfaction.

Once, he suddenly stopped the rehearsal and said: "This scene is the key to the whole play; if the heroine still performs so poorly, the whole play cannot be rehearsed any further!"

She swept away her previous inferiority complex, shyness and restraint, and acted very confidently and realistically. Stanislavsky said happily: "We have another new performing artist."

Seiji Ozawa is a world-famous music conductor. Once he went to Europe to participate in a conducting competition. In the finals, he was placed last . The judges handed him a piece of music score, and after a little preparation, Ozawa Seiji concentrated on conducting. Suddenly, he found a little dissonance in the music.

3. Discussion points of the story "Confidence - The Light that Shines on Our Talents"

There should have been more Newtons, Edisons, Darwins and Einsteins in the world of science, and more in the world of literature. There should have been more Tolstoy, Balzac, Romain Rolland and Dickens. However, many people who could have become outstanding talents have been buried. Buried by what? self-abasement!

Because of low self-esteem, one does not have the courage to choose the goal of struggle; because of low self-esteem, one does not dare to get ahead in career; because of low self-esteem, one loses the courage to overcome difficulties; because of low self-esteem, one just muddles along and goes with the flow... Therefore, It is no exaggeration to say that low self-esteem means self-burying, self-destruction, and self-killing! If a person wants to write down his regretful youth, and if he wants to write a magnificent poem about life, he must get rid of the trouble of inferiority and light up the beacon of self-confidence!

my country's respected obstetrician and gynecologist Lin Qiaozhi was an unpopular person when she was born - because she was a girl. When she was studying, she was discriminated against by her male classmates; during a final exam, a male classmate said arrogantly to her: "It's not easy for your female classmates to pass the exam!" Lin Qiaozhi replied without showing any signs of weakness: "How are you female classmates? If you get 100 points, we also want 100 points!" Driven by her self-confidence, she studied hard and got the first place in that exam.

Madame Curie once said: "We should have perseverance, especially self-confidence! We must believe that our talents are used to do something. No matter what happens, the living people Always work as usual." It was her self-confidence that enabled her to win the Nobel Prize twice and make great contributions to human science after enduring blows such as breakup, loss of husband, and social rumors.

Of course, the self-confidence I am talking about is not water without a source or a tree without roots. Our self-confidence comes from our belief in the brilliant future of our motherland. We are a note in the movement of the times and a drop of water in the ocean of our motherland. Therefore, when we face any setbacks or hardships, we should not be pessimistic and decadent, nor should we despair and hesitate.

Students, get out of the valley of inferiority and light up the beacon of confidence! We all should become strong in learning and strong in life. Our lives will shine with magnificent brilliance.
