There is a vast difference be- tween self-confidence and con- cell, and a true line divides the two, to distinguish one from the other.

What then Is tho difference between the two, and how can one be distinguished from the the other?

Briefly, the answer is this: A buy or girl of average intel- ligence—this is the first prere qulaite of self-confidence.—able to handle responsibilities with rensonable ability.

For instance, he is asked by the schoolmaster whether he is able to halte a certain job, say, organising a 'group for some-

He answers his master in the affirmative and proves it in ef- feet, by acquitting himself with success.

Pretty, 14-year-old Ann told the "Topics" in an inter- view, that she was not absolutely sure if she and her sister were returning to Hong Kong. "But if we do, it will be in about three years' time," she said.

Although very attached, the sisters are quite different in their

outlooks and interests. Ann quiet and shy much prefers to alt home with some interesting books or attend to needle-work.

Her younger sister Elaine, on the other hand, loves the outdoors, and riding. Ann hopes to become a "and look after marse one day. sick children." while

Considering the two, what to the Colony three years later. are the odds for success against the element of chance?

After solving these three ques- tions he wlls the master that he is able to do it and lives up to St. That is self confidence.

Another boy's answer is also "yes" to the inastor. He starts on the job and can't finish it.

That is concelt; because he ron- sidered only by awn greatness, of which, he thinks, (a conceited fellow, that Is) nothing can sur-
