相信自己。即对自己的想法、做法等的正确性、正当性由衷地抱有坚定信心，在任何情况下，都会坚定不移地为之努力，绝不放弃自己的信念和目标，不含糊动摇，不屈己就人。自信的前提是自我诚信，只有做到了自我诚信，才能给予自己强大的信心，也才能得到他人的信任。“自信”所强调的是主体性的树立，与“自强不息”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."
