Just about anyone can sing, all you need is a voice. If you can talk, you can sing, regardless of how well you do it. Most children sing, therefore the physical capability is there. Children don’t worry about how they sound, they just enjoy it. By the time we become adults, many of us are conditioned to be overly critical, and even ashamed of our voices. Many people even fear singing. Why can’t adults be more like children?

We are all born with very high self-confidence, but often it is gradually eroded by emotional trauma of varying degrees. People grow up and get the shine knocked out of them. Have you noticed that most children seem to bounce into this world with a really hefty amount of self-esteem? Really. If you”ve ever chatted to a kid about their crappy crayon drawing or pasta art, you”ll immediately see that there”s no pretend humility, no self effacement. Just pride and confidence. Ask them what they want to be and they”ll tell you “a unicorn trainer”.

Self efficacy is the strength of your beliefs in your ability to complete tasks successfully.

“It should be noted that the construct of self-efficacy differs from the colloquial term “confidence.” Confidence is a nondescript term that refers to strength of belief but does not necessarily specify what the certainty is about.

Whether you will persist or give up while working on a specific task – How long you will stick to uncomfortable changes designed to bring long term results (quit smoking, weight loss,positive thinking mindset) I can be supremely confident that I will fail at an endeavor. Perceived self-efficacy refers to belief in one’s capabilities, that one can produce given levels of attainment.
What goals you”ll set for yourself and where “extremely difficult” ends and impossible starts. A self -efficacy assessment, therefore, includes both an affirmation of a capability level and the strength of that belief.

The beliefs you have about your abilities shape your entire life. They effect how you think, feel and behave. Self-efficacy refers to subject’s behaviors (i.e.: it’s the subject’s judgment about his own ability to follow a needed or desired course of action); self-confidence has a lesser precise definition, implying a person’s trust on a wider range of own resources or strengths.

If you have little self-efficacy, you will have a tendency to write off things you consider impossible. Self-confidence lead to self-efficacy, or we can say there is a direct correlation between the two factors. On the other hand, self-efficacy is related to other factors too, such as: the difficulty of the task, the subject’s abilities and so on.

If you don”t believe you are able to achieve your dreams you will live a medicare life instead of realizing your full potential. When the word self-efficacy is heard, it is often understood as self-confidence by many people. Self-confidence is not the same as self- efficacy.Its important to note that self-efficacy is task related you can have high self-efficacy in a particular task and low self efficacy when working in another task.

Self-confidence is defined as a trust or assertion in oneself, believing in one’s aptitude, making a choice which maybe referring to a general context or to a specific event or doings. Some people recognize self-confidence as self-assurance.

Self efficacy develops during childhood. The right parent/teacher/family can help to develop a powerful belief in their abilities that will empower them in their adult life.

self-efficacy can be defined as the capability to attain the required outcome. Speaking of perceived self-efficacy generally means that the person has a lot of faith in his or her aptitude that the wanted outcome can be achieved.

Those with self-efficacy tends to have higher level of desire, higher obligation and are also able to restore themselves after facing with failure better than those with poorer height of self-efficacy

Consider challenges as something they can over come Avoid challenges (consequently they rarely grow)
Obstacles don”t make them lose confidence in their abilities. Difficult goals are beyond their capabilities and thus they don”t achieve big goals.
Take responsibility for their failure and believe they control the outcome (not believe in getting lucky) Quickly lose confidence in their abilities and give up on their goals.
Put more effort to complete the task Have narrow view (no big picture)
They set goals and develop deeper understanding of it They don”t believe in their abilities but on external factors like luck.

People with higher levels of self-efficacy tends to view heavy responsibilities as challenge to be tackled other than viewing it as danger or risk that has to be stayed away from at all times. If you don”t believe in your abilities you are not likely to set big goals that have the highest chance of making a dramatic improvement in your life.
