32、 Life D. The Breakthrough in the Study of AgingCNothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet（磁铁）. Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their pee
33、rs, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.

And whats even better is that the things youll do to build self-confidence will also build success -after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achiev

38、leased you recognize my efforts.” The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success. Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned a
