5. What are the differences between interests and abilities?
Ans. Interests are the things that we enjoy doing. Interests may include:
Activities you like to do at school and in your free time that make you happy.
Activities you are curious about or would do even if no one asked you to do them.
Activities you want to learn or would like to do in the future.
Ability, on the other hand, is an acquired or natural capacity that enables an individual to perform a particular
job or task with considerable proficiency. Sometimes interests may not match abilities. In those cases, you can
either improve your abilities or follow some other path. For example, you may like cricket (interest), but you may
not be able to play due to the necessary power or skill (ability) required to play the game. In that case, it is not
necessary to try to become a cricketer!
6. What are the factors that affect self-confidence CBSE Handbook
Ans. There are various factors that affect self confidence of an individual. Some important ones are as follows:
ocial Factors: It is pre-evident that man is a social animal. We experience positivity and confidence when
people appreciate our effort and respect us. It can be understood simply that when a man is in a comfortable,
friendly environment, he forgets his weaknesses, aws and incapabilities, rather he generates self confidence
and starts using his qualities more rationally and takes more interest in social issues too. Hence, the social
factor plays an important role in confidence-building as he takes positive inputs from the society around him
and gives back the same.
Cultural Factors: In this scientific era, where technology has excelled so much, we Indians still haven t
forgotten our culture, family values and ethics. Our traditional culture holds important position in our lives.
Keeping or sticking to cultural habits or traditional ethics, a strong value system or self-recognition is felt in
the personality of a person and such feeling gives more of self confidence.
