Three Kinds of Confidence

Female

The female expresses her confidence in how she looks, how she behaves and what she does. Confident people radiate the quality of confidence, and one way to become more confident is to act it from the outside in, if it is lacking from the inside out. Thus through the act, more confidence will accrue to the person, because in the eyes of others they will indeed be confident. Thus a smile, a direct look in the eye, a head held high, a light, springy step, a straight back and a clear voice as well as a strong handshake and neat attire can all be symptoms of confidence, or a way to gain more of this much-desired quality. Act the part and you will surely become it.

Woman

Confidence for the woman springs from her skills and abilities. So the question arises—what are you good at? What do you love to do? Therein lies your strength and your confidence. A gathering of ladies in Mexico, when asked to write down all the skills they could think of that the attending women had learned throughout life, at first foundtheir lists were quite short. It was pointed out that they could all do something that the speaker dearly wished she could do as well and that she envied them their fluency, capability and ease. They looked at her with surprise. “You can speak Spanish,” she told them, “and it’s going to take me a long time to learn.” They smiled at her with indulgence and quickly added a few more skills to their lists: "I can walk" they wrote, "and talk and dance and read and write ..." and many more.

Lady

For the lady, her confidence is rooted in the qualities she represents. Therefore patience, respect, honesty, dignity, serenity, humanity, compassion and so many more give her belief in herself and the self-knowledge that has nothing to prove, but radiates with a quiet strength. Thus the lady has the special ability to console with a look or nurture with a gesture or a kind word.
