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信,只有做到了自我誠信,才能給予自己強(qiáng)大的信心,也才能得到他人的信任?!白孕拧彼鶑?qiáng)調(diào)的是主體性的樹立,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."
