相信自己。即對(duì)自己的想法、做法等的正確性、正當(dāng)性由衷地抱有堅(jiān)定信心，在任何情況下，都會(huì)堅(jiān)定不移地為之努力，絕不放棄自己的信念和目標(biāo)，不含糊動(dòng)搖，不屈己就人。自信的前提是自我誠(chéng)信，只有做到了自我誠(chéng)信，才能給予自己強(qiáng)大的信心，也才能得到他人的信任。“自信”所強(qiáng)調(diào)的是主體性的樹(shù)立，與“自強(qiáng)不息”的精神相通。

Have trust in oneself so that one strongly believes in the correctness and validity of one's thoughts and actions. One who has such a belief will give up neither one's conviction nor one's goals. He will neither waver nor submit to others. A strong sense of personal integrity underlies this sense of self-belief, which in turn wins the trust of others. The term expresses a sense of self, and relates closely to the concept "strive continuously to strengthen oneself."
