It is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon that |
| [00:04.89] |
a striker is preparing to shoot at the goal defended by a goalkeeper on a football field. |
| [00:11.67] |
In the goalkeeper's mind |
| [00:13.07] |
he is so much smaller than he actually is that guarding the goal becomes a mission impossible. |
| [00:19.44] |
On the contrary, the giant guard seems to fail up the whole goal in the attacking players mind. |
| [00:26.20] |
The purpose of the drawing is to show us that in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges or predicament, |
| [00:34.94] |
possessing self-confidence is of utmost significance. |
| [00:39.14] |
Regardless of how much success one has had in school or at work, |
| [00:43.62] |
there are bound to be times when he or she will encounter problems. |
| [00:49.83] |
It is at these critical times that his self-confidence, toward difficulty and life in general, |
| [00:56.09] |
eventually plays a crucial role in determining whether he can turn failure into victory. |
| [01:02.70] |
I can think of no better illustration than the following one. |
| [01:06.89] |
Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind, certainly, nothing to give her self-confidence. |
| [01:13.47] |
Nevertheless, she went on to conquer her multiple handicaps to finally become a writer and lecturer, |
| [01:20.58] |
to become an inspiration to all. |
| [01:22.80] |
This case effectively clarifies that no matter what tasks we are confronted with, |
| [01:28.13] |
we should never overestimate the difficulties or underestimate our abilities. |
