The famous Russian dramatist Stanivsky once rehearsed a play, and the heroine suddenly couldn't perform for some reason. Stanivsky really couldn't find anyone, so he had to ask his sister to play the role.

His sister used to be a costume prop manager, but now she suddenly plays the leading role. She has a feeling of inferiority and timidity, and her performance is extremely poor, which has caused stanislavski's irritability and dissatisfaction.

On one occasion, he suddenly stopped rehearsing and said, "This scene is the key to the whole play; If the heroine still plays so badly, the whole play can't go on! " At this time, the audience became silent, and his sister didn't speak for a long time.

Suddenly, she looked up and said, "rehearsal!" " "I swept away my previous inferiority, shyness and formality, and I was very confident and true. Stanislas Fudge said happily, "We have a new performing artist. "

Napoleon inspired the soldiers.

Napoleon was the first ruler of the First Republic of France and the most outstanding politician and strategist in French history. His confidence has always been admired by future generations. Once, a soldier rode a horse to deliver a letter to Napoleon.

Because of the emergency, the horse ran a long distance and too fast, so it fell to the ground and died after reaching Napoleon's barracks. After receiving the letter, Napoleon wrote a reply immediately, gave it to the soldier, let him get on the horse, and quickly sent the letter back to its original place.

The soldier saw the strong horse, and its decoration was surprisingly luxurious. He said to Napoleon, "No, general, this is just a mediocre soldier. He really doesn't deserve to ride this strong horse." Napoleon replied, "There is nothing in the world that French soldiers don't deserve."

3. Seiji Ozawa

Seiji Ozawa is a world-famous symphony conductor. In the final of a world-class conductor competition, he played according to the score given by the jury, and keenly found the discordant voice. At first, he thought the band had made a mistake, so he stopped to play again, but it was still wrong. He thinks there is something wrong with music.

At this time, the composer present and the authority of the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, but he was wrong. Facing a lot of music masters and authorities, he thought over and over again, and finally said firmly and loudly, "No! There must be something wrong with the score! " As soon as his voice fell, the judges on the bench immediately stood up and gave him warm applause to congratulate him on winning the game.

It turns out that this is a "trap" carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductor can stick to his correct opinion when he finds that the score is wrong and is "denied" by the authoritative department. Although the first two conductors who participated in the final also found mistakes, they were eventually eliminated because they echoed the opinions of authoritative people. However, Seiji Ozawa won the world command contest because of his confidence.

4. Dong Qing

Dong Qing found confidence in the book. Before the college entrance examination, the head teacher suggested that she take the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Dong Qing has long been fascinated by her hometown, but her father has always opposed girls putting on airs on the stage. Finally, she had to compromise, and the family chose "TV art major", which seemed to be a well-behaved subject.

Entering Shanghai Theatre Academy, Dong Qing knew what it meant behind the scenes. "At that time, the students in the class were more beautiful than one. It's been almost half a year and I haven't found a feeling. " Dong Qing said. When she first went to college, she was always troubled by her inferiority complex. Once, she couldn't find a particularly bright color in her life. Books gave her strength in those difficult days.

"I had a conversation with myself, and the conclusion of the conversation was that I should not sacrifice my reading time to practice my lines and body. On the contrary, I should make my book knowledge more solid.

I have the specialty of reading extensively and memorizing, which is better than reading ability. I should read the most books among my classmates, and I always rank among the best in every cultural examination. I often convince myself like this, and my class teacher seems to have realized this and started to build up my confidence in this respect.
