Hi Salmoncake,

You have raised 4 questions : 1) how to build confidence ? 2) How to have courage ? 3)how to have a strong heart (not physical) ? 4) How to be humble ?

  1. Building Confidence in carrying out certain tasks will require you to have the knowledge and skills in the tasks. For example, if you want to have confidence in giving a presentation, you may need to have the knowledge/skills in the topic you want to present, and the presentation skills required. In addition, practice is also important to increase confidence in carrying out the task. Nevertheless, if you are referring to building Self-confidence (I.e. a trust that you have the abilities that you can do things well), there is a sharing by a professional (in this website) about building self-confidence which you might be interested to read - please refer to this link- How do I build my confidence?
  2. Courage is a kind of strength that one possesses that drives him/her to carry out tasks that he/she is afraid of. In someways, it is closely related to self-confidence. For example, there are times we may not have enough knowledge and skills pertaining to a certain task, but if we have high Self-confidence that we can somehow make things work, then we may decide to give it a try. In this instance, you are perceived as having courage. Thus one way to build courage is to focus on the goal you want to achieve, and encourage yourself to persist.
  3. “Strong heart” - I suppose you refers to Strong-hearted (resilient, strong-willed) ? A resilient and strong-willed person will not easily give up. This person will keep trying and persist in times of difficulties to get to his/her goal. A strong-willed person needs to be determined and believe in themselves, think positively, emotionally stable (know your feelings and know how to regulate to avoid being overwhelmed).
  4. Humble - To me, this is perhaps the easiest to practice and achieve. To be humble is to understand that there is always someone knows more than you, and someone else would know more than the one who knows more than you. Metaphorically, we are just like trees. Therefore, be humble !

Reading books that write about qualities/personalities of happy/successful people in life probably can give you more information to your questions.

Hope that my sharing helps. Have a good weekend.
