Confident women are amazing, brave, independent, strong and assertive. They know what they want and get it by all means. Before judging confident women, remember these 8 misconceptions about strong girls.

自信的女性妙不可言，她们勇敢独立、坚强果敢。她们知道自己的需求、拼尽全力去追求。对自信的女性评头论足前，记得先看看以下八条人们对自信女性的误读。

 

Many believe confident women are totally selfish and self-centered. In fact, confident women have weak moments too. They can be as sensitive as any other person can be.

许多人认为自信的女性只关心自己、以自我为中心。事实上，自信的女子也有脆弱的时候，她们也和别人一样敏感。

 

Any woman – be she strong or weak – loves praises and compliments. Confident women want to be praised and they deserve beautiful words.

所有女性，不论坚强还是脆弱，都爱表扬与恭维。自信的女子想要褒扬，因为她们配得上言语称颂。

 

Yes, confident women are smart and intelligent but they there are something they don't know about. No matter how hard you try, you can't know everything. Confident women are not afraid to accept their mistakes. They learn from them and don't make them twice. Reading is one of their best hobbies but it doesn't mean they are nerds. They are fun and interesting to hang out with.

是的，自信的女子聪慧机敏，但还是有些东西是她们不知道的。不论你怎样努力，你都不可能无所不知。自信的女子不怕承认她们的错误，她们从中吸取教训，不再犯第二次。她们爱阅读，但不是说她们就是书呆子了。和她们一起出去玩很带劲。

 

Fear doesn't choose whom to strike. It strikes everyone. Confident women dread to become weak or broken. When a confident woman faces a challenge or a failure, though, she becomes stronger and her faith helps her move mountains and become more successful.

恐惧本身并不会选择谁会收到影响，它影响所有人。自信的女子害怕变脆弱、害怕变得不堪一击。遇到困难和挑战时，她们变得更坚强，信念助其排除万难，走向成功。

 

There's a difference between worrying about what others will think or say about you and paying attention to other people's opinions. Confident women do whatever they want to do because they don't let others prevent them from being who they are. Girls with weak willpower, on the contrary, let others control their actions.

担忧他人所思所说与在意他人的观点是有所区别的。自信的女性做她们想做的事，是因为不想让别人阻止她们做自己。相反，意志力薄弱的女孩让别人左右自己的行为。

 

Strong women get hurt too. They feel pain – they are not cold. They all have kind hearts. Whether it's someone's death, a breakup or a discharge, they feel it all. They feel lost, frustrated, and depressed.

坚强的女性也会受伤害。她们能感知痛苦，她们并不冰冷。她们都有仁慈的心。如有人身故、分手或遭解雇，她们都会感知。她们会迷失、会受挫也会情绪低落。

 

Even though strong women have trouble expressing their true feelings, they can love. They love animals, people, nature and job. They love life. They deserve to be loved. Instead of moaning and judging, boost your own confidence.

尽管厉害的女性表达真情实感时会有困难，但她们懂得爱。她们爱动物、爱人、爱大自然与工作；她们爱生活。她们值得爱。不要自怨自艾、评头品足了，鼓起勇气、增强信心。

Just because confident women walk with their heads high and believe in their strength and abilities doesn’t mean they are self-absorbed. Strong women respect others and try to help and inspire them to live a better life.

仅仅因为自信女性昂首阔步、相信自己的能力并不意味着她们自我沉醉。坚强的女性尊重他人，并且帮助他人、启迪他人过更好的生活。
