The importance of SELF-CONFIDENCE in Writing

This is what i wanna write later, i think its a good topic and i dont like forgetting somethng..so i just post the title first..i'll write bout it when i have my precious free time to burn..lol (16/6/2011...1.00 pm)

(2.33pm 27/6/2011)... ok here we go..i'm now at my campus, waiting for my History class to start at about 4pm this evening and yes it's boring to sit at the cafe until 4..

so lets get down to the business, i wanna talk about the importance of self confidence in writing as i promised earlier..

As for speaking, we can see the link between the level of confidence of a person with his/her ability to command in english, but one thing that not most people know is that an individual would also need self confidence during writing.
To explain what i'm going to write here, lets look this example first to give you a clearer view of what i wanna share shortly..

John is participating in a debate, and during a debate the "universal law" is that the person/group who speaks confidently, thoughtfully, and systematically will often get the praises..so what are the thing that a 'debate-tor' (i dont know the right word) need to have or need to do before a debate? practising language skills, understanding the main points that are going to be speaked during the debate, and for some people, they simulate the debate and run it themselves or maybe speak in front of a mirror..and that is the quality of a good speaker right? wrong!

A person who prepares themselves like John would not necessarily win the debate or is going to get the most praises..and a person who destined to win the debate would obviously have something different from the others.. and what is it? confidence~

Confidence is the key in communicating...in my point of view, confidence is the key to open the floodgate..What is a floodgate? a gate that blocks floodwater from getting through, and to open it, we need a key....floodgate is the barrier that stops you from delivering at your full potential, the floodwater is the idea that you have (in your subconscious mind), and the key to open the floodgate is simple, confidence..

I'm not really able to demonstrate how self-confidence can affect your ability in delivering/commanding in English but it really have a profound effect to an individual...for example, i'm now delivering/sharing something on a blog, i need a good command of english to make sure that my message is understandable to public, and to tell you frankly, i dont really write as good as now during my real MUET...and its because i miss this part, the confidence part, and what i'm writing here is actually demonstrating my level of confidence, if i'm not confident enough, i wont be able to write in this standard spontaneously and in a hurry

So that's all for today ~ adios amigo, good luck
