Dear,
On a normal day at home, do you require confidence to speak to your parents, to other family members? Before you speak to them, do you gather courage, do you gather confidence and then go there? No, you don’t. So, you don’t require confidence at home. You must be having some friends? When you are speaking to your friends, do you require confidence? No. But you surely require confidence when you are speaking to an interviewer. Then you say, ‘I require confidence’. Correct?
Try to understand this. Why do you require confidence in an interview room, and why do you not require confidence at home? You require confidence when you are afraid. The one who is not afraid, does not require confidence.
Right now, as I am sitting in front of you, this thought of ‘confidence’ has not crossed my mind even once. In fact, you may say that I am not at all confident right now, because one needs confidence only when one is afraid. So, the more you appear confident, the more afraid you are. Do not ask for confidence, ask for simplicity. Getting it? Simplicity, not confidence.
Simplicity is: ‘I am what I am’. What is confidence? An indication of fear. And over-confidence is an indication of more fear. The way your thinking is, confidence and aggression are not two different things.
ear will arise, but understand this fear. Do not ask for confidence. Understand this fear. This fear arises because we are constantly looking at others. Let me ask you a question. Do you require confidence when you have to speak in a room all alone? No. But you require confidence when you have speak in a hall filled with audience. Right?
Do not ask for confidence. Remain simple! Do not try to become something. Just remain as you are. Simple, ordinary! Do not try to become something, then everything will be alright. You will feel light. You will get rid of a lot of burden.
