One must accept the fact that life does not remain same.A particular set of circumstances existing in a particular place or at a particular time may change any time.A pleasing situation may develop into unpleasant one.In short, vicissitudes or unexpected changes in fortune are a part of life that one has to deal with.In such times, the self-confidence could be a reason to win what is better for him or her and to come out of that particular situation.Hence, there is a need for having and building self-confidence.SWOT is a great way to build your self-confidence and develop your positive behavior that in turn leads you to extract numerous benefits.
