Would you pick the person who is less confident? Ever? Quite simply, a positive sense of self can transform your life. Rosabeth Moss Kanter, PHD, author of the bestselling book Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End, has honed the definition down to its essence:"Confidence is the expectation of a positive outcome,“ says Kanter. A professor atHarvard Business School, Kanter helps translate textbook concepts about success and attitude into practical results. i4The fact is,“ she says, "confidence makes you willing to try harder and attracts the kind of support from others that makes winning possible."If, like most people, your confidence could use a boost, here are strategies on how to develop it quickly一and keep it working for you the rest of your life.L The Toes and Shoulders TestRemember how Eliza Doolittle was transformed from a lowly flower seller into a confident grand dame in My Fair Lady? In the 1960s, Harvard researcher Robert Rosenthal studied how you can make people succeed by labeling them "successful". Students were randomly assigned to two groups, "high-potentials" and "low-potentials". Those singled out as more successful.were.Even a hint of praise or scorn can affect our performance. A recent study, published in Perceptual and Motor Skills, demonstrated how powerful a few words can be.Forty competitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way. Just before each ball appeared, the players saw or heard comments like "Good shot" or "Bad shot". The reaction times of players hearing negative remarks were measurably slower. And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistent game and not make unforced errors.What's the explanation? Negative feedback undermines anyone's belief in his or her ability to succeed. But if you can hold on to a winning attitude, you'll make a greater effort and also create positive momentum（动）.Confident people inspire others; opportunities seem to come their way more often. They become magnets for success.At the most basic level of daily activity, confidence shows itself in body language, demeanor（行为）and in one's surroundings. Chris Wallace, general manager of the Boston Celtics, used the "toes and shoulders test" to see if pro basketball players were likely to win. He looked at whether players were sticking close to the ground or were up on their toes; whether their shoulders were sagging（下垂）or they were standing tallall to determine if they were really fully focused on the game.Your body language and attitude send signals. Often the first thing Kanter suggests executives do to boost morale in a business that's failing is to refurmsh（刷新）the workplace. It's one more way of labeling yourself successful. Harvard Business School, where Kanter teaches, is not beautiful by accident: "The surroundings inspire people to live up to high standards," she says. "And don't assume that treating yourself to a good haircut or a stylish suit is frivolous（不里要的），either," Kanter adds. "You don't do those things to dazzle someone, but to build confidence in advance of victory."2. Practice, Practice, Practice“Learn the importance of giving yourself pep talks（鼓励性的话），and keep the voice in your head positive," says Kanter. "I've observed this in athletes, who talk to themselves before and during competition. The best athletes' success is rarely due to raw talent alone. It's because they're simply better prepared/' They stay focused, they're willing to work as they need to, and they keep the positive voice in their heads switched on.“If I'm going into a meeting feeling rottenbecause I have a cold or have had a tough day,'' says Kanter, "I make a deliberate effort to not let my bad mood show. I smile and work harder than usual to act positive. Similarly, if you are having trouble finding confidence in one area of your life, another way to 4coach' yourself is to create confidence in a different area and leverage（影响）it. If you walk into a situation smiling because of satisfaction you've gotten elsewhere-even something that's as simple as a book club you've joinedyou are more likely to provoke a positive response,'9 Kanter comments. "There's evidence that these feelings are contagious/9Perhaps the most important aspect of being your own coach is to do what any outside adviseror a good parent, for that matter-would preach: practice, practice, practice. Even though Kanter has been a top-gun consultant for years, she admits that she still "almost always over-prepares for lectures99, and suggests that others do the same.3. Flying without SpoonsAvoid individuals who suck your energy and diminish your confidence. You know who they are: steer clear of them. Hang out with the people who see you at your best, and remind you about it every so often. Pessimists drag you down, as do whiners（哀诉者） and critics.At work especially, stay away from grips（抱怨）session. "If there are legitimate concerns, you should express them, but make it a rule not to complain unless you all agree to try to solve problems,99 says Kanter. "Confident people have the sense that they are in control, and can take action that will make things happen.99"I love a story from Continental Airlines,99 Kanter adds, "Where the boss wanted each employee to help reach the goal of making sure the planes took off on time. One day a flight attendant noticed that they were delayed because the catering department hadn't provided spoons. She took it upon herself to say, 4Okay, we're going to fly anyway, and I'll explain it to the passengers.' It's a small thing that was big: she showed she had the confidence to be in charge because she knew she was surrounded by people who would support her.”4. Everything Can Look Like a Failure in the MiddleWinning is often the result of persistence, of not giving up when your goal appears to be in jeopardy（危险）."When you adopt the attitude that if you do something it will make a difference, that's confidence," she says. 44Look at your situation and think of yourself as being in the middle of it. The story is rarely over, even when the great majority think it issomething every sports fan knows."Kicker Adam Vinatieri helped the New England Patriots defeat the Miami Dolphins 27-24 on December 29, 2002, when he kicked a 42-yard field goal in the final seconds, after many spectators had already gotten up from their seats to make their way out of the stadium. This event got fans saying, "It's not over until Vinatieri kicks." Sure enough, in the 2004 Super Bowl, Vinatieri kicked the game-winning points for the Patriots in the final few seconds.Certainly, there will still be moments and situations that just aren't going to go your way, and this is the time when confidence needs to be tempered by realism. If you believe in yourself so strongly that you act rashly, confidence can actually make you “stupid”. So handle it with careand use your new confidence wisely.1. This passage mainly deals with how to develop confidence in advance of victory.2. Kanter's be
