英语励志文章——自信

　　Nothing succeeds like confidence。When you are truly confident，it radiates from you like sunlight，and attracts success to you 。

　　It's important to believe in yourself。Believe that you can do it under any circumstances，because if you believe you can，then you really will。The belief keeps you searching for answers，which means that pretty soon you will get them。

　　Confidence is more than an attitude。 It es from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there。 It es from acting with integrity and confidence。It es from a strong sense of purpose。It es from a strong mitment to take responsibility，rather than just letting life happen。

　　One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you。

　　Confidence is passionate and understanding。It is not arrogant。 Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity，while confidence es from strength and integrity。Confidence is not just believing you can do it。 Confidence is knowing you can do it。Know that you are capable of acplish anything you want，and live your life with confidence。

　　Anything can be achieved through focused，determined effort and self-confidence。If your life is not what you want it to be，you have the power to change it，and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis。 Live your priorities。 Live with your goals and your plan of action。 Live each moment with your priorities in mind。 Act with your own purpose，and you will have the life you want。

　　英语励志文章——社交能力

　　Most people who fail for lack of social skills talk of "office politics" doing them in, but the politics may be nothing more than normal interactions among people. If you have trouble with office politics, you may really be having trouble dealing with people.

　　You may get along on brilliance alone for a while, but most careers involve other people. You can have great academic intelligence and still lack social intelligence---the ability to be a good listener, to be sensitive toward others, to give and take criticism well. People with high social intelligence admit their mistakes, take their share of blame and move on. They know how to build team support.

　　If people don't like you, they may help you fail. One day at an airport, a traveler observed a well-dressed businessman yelling at a poster about the porter's handling of his luggage. The more abusive the businessman became, the calmer the porter seemed. After the businessman left, the traveler complimented the porter on his restraint. "oh, that's nothing," he said, smiling. "you know ,that man's going to Miami, but his bags-- they're going to kalamazoo." coworkers--even subordinates-- if poorly treated, can do you in.

　　On the other hand, you can get away with serious mistakes if you are socially intelligent. This is why many mediocre executives survive violent corporate upheavals. Sensitive in their dealing with others, they are well liked; when they make mistakes, their supporters usually help them recover. A mistake may actually further their careers if the boss thinks they handle the situation in a nature and responsible way.

　　People with poor interpersonal skills have trouble taking criticism. When confronted with a mistake, they let their ego and emotions get in the way. They may deny responsibility and became moody, volatile or angry. They mark themselves as "prickly" and "temperamental".

　　Social intelligence is an acquired skill. The more you practice, the better you get. Like good manners, it can be learned.
