We are in a world full of competition．Our parents compete（競爭）with others in their offices，our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges，and we compete with our classmates in school． Many of us give up in the face of competition. Why can’t we do better than others? One important reason is that we have no self confidence．

In fact，everyone is born equal．You can do what others do．Although your classmates may be better than you in some ways，you may be better than them in other ways. So everyone has his or her own advantages．Don't look at things from a single point of view．Try to discover your own advantages，and believe that you can do better than others in those ways．

Competition is not so terrible．Don't be afraid of it．And don't be afraid of those classmates who are better than you．Remember that the first step to success is self-confidence. Believe in yourselves，and you will be successful.

If you think you are too shy and want to be a little braver, just try the following things:

Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.

Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.

Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Get your attention(注意) elsewhere（在別處）. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether(是否) people like you or not. You will become relaxed(放松的) and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.

Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.
