Confidence is not something that comes from outside sources. We often turn
to others for inspiration and motivation hoping they will believe in us.
But that is not what validates you, Moonchild. The only true form of
self-esteem is the sense of self-worth that exists within you, and if you
don't have enough of it, you need to look within to cultivate it. You may
be hoping that someone you want to impress will believe in something you
are doing and give you the confidence you need, but confidence is home-
grown. Remember that.
自信心不是來自外在的資源，我們常常向其他人請教靈感和動力，希望他們會相信自
己，可是那都不是讓你有靈感和動力的東西。唯一且真實的自尊心型態是存乎己心的
自我價值的感覺，如果你沒有足夠的自我價值感，那你必須向內尋求與培養。你或許
正在希望可以讓某個人對自己印象深刻，希望他會相信你正在做的事，並且給你你所
需要的信心。不過你要記住，信心是從你自己身上產生的。
