If I would leave any thought with someone, I would say, “Never doubt yourself.” No matter what people say, no matter what you may think sometimes, never doubt yourself. If you believe in yourself, you will succeed far more than you will fail. He who possesses a quiet kind of faith in his ability to perform a task already has the task half completed.
Believe yourself despite setbacks, despite the seemingly immoveable obstacles, despite the cold and dark, despite the sadness and pain, and eventually your faith will come to fusion, and you will find all those trouble behind you.
The simplest thing in the world is to deride ourselves because we made a mistake, to give up and say, ‘I'm no good.'' But the more difficult thing is to believe in ourselves and constructively active in our life. The greatest error in life is to downgrade ourselves. The most horrible tragedies in life have occurred from a lack of faith in one's own self and one's own ability, from a belief that one cannot succeed and that failure is one's sole lot in life
We have more strength than we believe. There is more fight within us than we know, and we are far more potential than we could ever dream of being possible!

永远不要怀疑自己
如果让我留下一些至理名言,我会说:“永远不要怀疑自己。”不管别人怎么说,不管有时候你怎么想,永远不要怀疑自己。如果你相信自己,你获得成功的机会将远远高于失败的可能性。坚信自己有充足的能力完成任务的人,已经成功了一半。
即使面临挫折,即使遇到看起来不可克服的障碍,即使面对寒冷和黑暗,即使遭遇悲伤与痛苦,你也要相信自己。你的信念终将实现,并且你将发现所有的困难都将被你甩在身后。
世界上最容易的事情就是因为犯错误而嘲笑、放弃自己,并说:“我不行!”难的是相信自己,积极地继续我们的生活。人生最大的错误就是贬低自己,生活中最可悲的事情往往归因于缺乏自信,对自己的能力缺乏信心,总认为自己不能成功,认为失败就是自己唯一的命运。
我们拥有比想象中更强大的力量,我们的斗志比已知的更多,我们的潜力远远超过我们所想象到的程度!
