After the publication of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, someone once wrote a book, One Hundred Refutations to Relativity, and collected a group of so-called celebrities to make a huge refutation of this theory. However, Einstein was confident that his theory would win and rejected the rebuttal.
He said: "If my theory is wrong, a rebuttal is enough, and a hundred zeros add up to zero." He strengthened his belief in winning, persisted in his research, and finally made "Theory of Relativity" a great theory in the 20th century, attracting worldwide attention.

She quipped, "I fell badly. Be sure to pay attention to your posture when you break next time. " After receiving Taiwan, I just smiled casually and started the interview.
Afterwards, Wang told everyone: "Self-confidence, sometimes you need to learn to laugh at yourself." In fact, Wang's self-mockery just shows her confidence.
3. The boy who subscribes to the newspaper-Obama
In 1960s, a half-blood boy was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. His father is Kenyan and his mother comes from a middle-class family in the United States. When the boy grew up, he attended a private elite primary school in Hawaii. He seldom talks in class because of the color of his skin. Whenever the teacher asks questions, his legs start to tremble and his speech becomes hesitant. The teacher told the boy's mother helplessly that the child didn't even believe in himself and would have no future.
The boy's mother disagreed with the teacher. She found a job for the boy-ordering newspapers door to door in the block in her spare time.
Encouraged by his mother, the boy bravely took the first step. He knocked on his neighbor's door and tried to communicate with them. Unexpectedly, he successfully subscribed to the newspaper, and several neighbors became his loyal subscribers. With the experience of earning the "first bucket of gold", the boy stopped stuttering. He walked from block to block, confidently knocking on door to door, and orders increased day by day. He enjoyed the joy of success for the first time.

It turned out that the mother had already arranged for her neighbors to order newspapers at her own expense, in order to give her son a confidence. Success, he held his mother's hand and let the tears flow freely. It was the precious self-confidence in his childhood that made him step by step to become the first African-American president of the United States. This is Barack Hussein Obama.

Ping Yuanjun called the people together and selected 20 civil and military generalists to go with him.
After selection, there is still one person missing at last. A man named stood up and recommended himself to Mao Sui, saying, "I heard that Mr. Wang is going to the State of Chu to sign a contract of union, and it is agreed that 20 public guests will go with him and not be outside to watch. However, one person is still missing. I hope that Teacher Wang will start with the number of people! " Ping Yuanjun said, "How many years has Mr. Zhao Sheng been here?"
Mao Sui said, "Three years." Ping Yuanjun said, "A wise man in the world is like an awl in a bag, and its tip will be revealed immediately. Now, I have been under Zhao Shengmen for three years, and people around me have never praised you, and Zhao Sheng has never heard any compliments. This is because Mr. Wang has no talent.
So Mr. Wang Can can't go with us, please stay! "He said," I only asked to enter the bag today. If I had been in the bag, I would have exposed the whole edge like an awl, not just the tip. "Ping Yuanjun finally took away.
5. Symphony conductor Seiji Ozawa is more confident than himself.
Seiji Ozawa is a world-famous symphony conductor. In the final of a world-class conductor competition, he played according to the score given by the jury, and keenly found the discordant voice. At first, he thought the band had made a mistake, so he stopped to play again, but it was still wrong. He thinks there is something wrong with music.
At this time, the composer present and the authority of the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, but he was wrong. Facing a lot of music masters and authorities, he thought over and over again, and finally said firmly and loudly, "No! The score is definitely wrong! " As soon as the voice fell, the judges on the bench immediately stood up and gave him warm applause to congratulate him on winning the game.
It turns out that this is a "trap" carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductor can stick to his correct opinion when he finds that the score is wrong and is "denied" by authoritative people. Although the first two conductors who participated in the final also found mistakes, they were eventually eliminated because they echoed the opinions of authoritative people. However, Seiji Ozawa won the world command contest because of his confidence.
