Everyone wants to be seen as a confident guy or lady, one who can stand his ground in any circumstance. You wouldn’t want to be called a sissy, would you?
Below, are 5 ways you can identify a confident person, so go through the list and know if you fit the bill.

#1.

Confident People Don’t Make Excuses:



One characteristic of highly confident people is their ability to take responsibility of their thoughts, actions and inactions. Confident don’t apportion blames, rather they own up to their faults and work on addressing the issues. A key thing is that confident people never say ‘yeah but’. They constantly have an open mind and listen to learn, and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their dreams. They don’t blame the traffic for being late to work like most of our writers at ListerNaija. They don’t excuse their short-comings with excuses like “I don’t have the time” or “I’m just not good enough”; they make the time and they keep on improving until they are good enough.

They Take Calculated Risks:


Highly confident people don’t let fear dictate the course of their lives. They know that the things they are afraid of doing are often the very same things that they need to do in order to evolve into the person they are meant to be. They are not afraid of taking risks to get to whatever level they intend to reach. they are ready to invest time, effort, finance and energy to actualize their intentions. To become confident and take risks, you have to start small. The more smaller risks you take, the easier it gets. The truth is that we take risks everyday, when we drive to work, when we eat, even when we breathe. Our entire existence is fraught with risks. You can choose the kind of risks you take, so why not choose the ones that are in your best interest?


#3.

Shortage Of Resources Don’t Stop Them:



Highly confident people can make use of whatever resources they have, no matter how big or small. They know that all things are possible with creativity and a refusal to quit. They don’t agonize over setbacks, but rather focus on finding a solution. Confident people are ready to use whatever is available at the moment to start up. they don’t wait for the” perfect” time, rather they make every time perfect.



#4.

They Don’t Make Comparisons


Don’t compete with others, unless you’re an athlete in a competition. Be better at who you are

Highly confident people know that they are not competing with any other person. They compete with no other individual except the person they were yesterday. They know that every person is living a story so unique that drawing comparisons would be an absurd and simplistic exercise in futility. As we are different, so are our abilities and capabilities. Confident people know that while they may not be very good at something, they’re excellent at others therefore they strive to get better at the things they are not very good at.


#5.

They Don’t Try To Please Everybody:

Highly confident people have no interest in pleasing every person they meet. They are aware that not all people get along, and that’s just how life works. They focus on the quality of their relationships, instead of the quantity of them. They take you into their circle, but they don’t force anyone to remain there.
