Self-esteem（自尊）and Self-confidence1．Think back to when you did something new for the first time. Self-confidence isn't always what we think it is. Many experts say that self-confidence and self-esteem are different. Self-confidence is about what we can do by virtue of our efforts, It grows along with the quality of the effort.2．Self-esteem is more fundamental（基本的）and is about the feeling of being worth something, just because we are, and not because we have done something. A good sportsman can have a huge success and self-confidence, because he's good at his sport. In the same time his self-esteem can be low, if his parents have never recognized and treasured him for the person he is deep inside, but only for his performances in sports.3．Build self-esteem if you were not born with it. Some people just have it, as if they were born with it. They talk in front of a crowd of people, sell themselves at job interviews or start an interesting conversation with people they've never met before.4．Self-confidence isn't something you receive as a birth gift. It's something you develop gradually as you turn over the pages of the thick book of life. If you work goal-directed to improve your belief in yourself, you'll eventually build up your courage to do what self-assured（自信的）people find natural, instead of developing pounding hearts, breathing difficulties and trembling hands.5．Regardless of fear and shyness you'll have to get out of your hiding to improve your self-confidence. Be more visible to your surroundings. Do something else than you used to. Try yourself in different situations. We all have many great abilities that just have to be exposed.Paragraph 1_____
