Hold Your Head Up High

Fei Xiajing

From Chunxiao Middle School

你想知道自己有几分自信吗 ? 只要完成下面的小测验，即能知晓。 选择“不是”的请在题后写上 A ，“是”的写上 B 。 　　 1 ．我不在乎同学评论我的成绩。 　 2 ．谈自己缺点和不理想的成绩时，我没有困窘。 　 3 ．当我考试成绩退步时，很少从主观上找原因。 　 4 ．我喜欢与好友讨论少男少女成长的烦恼。 　 5 ．我经常为做错事向同学道歉。 6 ．我常回忆过去的学生生活。 　 7 ．我对生活中曾做过的每件事情都无怨无悔。 8 ．当老师批评我学习不认真时， 很难引起我的重视。 　　 9 ．我从不向同学提要求。 　 10 ．与同学逛街，我喜欢让他决定该去哪儿。 11 ．如果我再刻苦一点，我在学习中会获得更多更大的成功。 　 12 ．我发现自己很难对朋友说“不！” 　 13 ．如果取消了与一个朋友的约会，我会感到愧疚。 　 14 ．当同学批评我时，我会长时间都放不下这件事。 　 15 ．在生活中与同学发生分歧时，我总坚持己见。

　结果分析： 　　如果你选择 A 项达 10 次或更多： You are not confident at all! 你真的存在严重的自视过低问题，必须想办法克服。要提醒自己，你是属于最好的 --没有人会取代你在自己心目中的位置。 　　如果你选择 A 项为 5-10 次之间： Sometimes you are confident! 你有时较积极乐观，但有时较悲观。这时，你不妨试试多与他人交流一下内心的想法。 　　 如果你选择 A 顶不超过 5 次：You’re confident! 值得庆贺！你已学会自我平衡，你知道要首先考虑自己的要求，明白自己像他人一样重要。
