Appel and Fuiava left Honolulu on May 3 sailing Appel’s 15-meter boat, the Sea Nymph. They had planned for an 18-day trip to Tahiti. However, storms flooded t he engine, destroyed the boat’s starter and severely damaged the mast( 桅杆). The women could not use the sails effectively, as a result. They tried to return to Hawaii. In June, they got within 1,345 kilometers of Oahu. ‘We knew we weren’t going to make it , Apple said. “So that’s when we started making distress calls( 求救呼叫). We were hoping that one of our friends who like to go deep sea fishing and taking people out might have gone past the 400-mile mark and might have cruised (巡航)near where we would be. ”

If there is one thing in this world everyone wants to have mor e of, it’s confidence. Men and women everywhere wish they could be more positive , self-assured and secure. Confident people make it all look so easy. There is something magnetic(磁性的) and enviable about their unshakable sense of self.

Many mistakenly believe that these confident people are somehow special and unique ;that they have abilities that the rest of the world don’t. The truth about confidence is that it’s an acquired skill. Very few people are born with it , and even fewer remain confident through the painful process of adolescence and entering adulthood. And I’m here to tell you, confident people don’t have a special gene that makes them confident. They’re not the X-men of the self-respect world.

Many people try to fake confidence, and to those who are truly confident, they are easy to spot. This is not true confidence. Dependence on outside approval is not confidence.

Here is what true confidence looks like :Independent from outside approval. Confident people are not afraid of criticism. They kn ow that they can’t please everyone, and they don’t waste their time trying. Confident people never seek outside approval. They have respect for others and are always willing to listen and learn ;however, the main guiding force in their lives will always be their own internal compass.

True confidence isn’t easy. It has to be learned , and earned , of ten through years of doubt, questioning, and mistakes. But the best things in life are rarely easy to obtain and few are worth the effort as much as confidence. Today , I’m inviting you to open yourself up to true confidence , and to the amazing gifts it

brings with it. The choice to become a truly confident person may just be the most important one you’ve ever made.
