If you don’t believe in yourself, you cannot expect the others to believe you. Whenever you come across a difficult task you should try to think of a task which you had completed successfully earlier.
You should try to identify your strengths and weaknesses. You should to try to overcome those weaknesses. But try to build a career on your strengths. There is no point in trying to go for higher studies in mathematics if mathematics is your weak point. Try humanities, commerce or chemistry.
If you find a task insurmountable, break it into smaller tasks. Your confidence will get a boost when you accomplish each of those small tasks. At times it is necessary to reduce the high goals you have set for yourself.
