(157 words) Insecurity is a fear that fetters a person, prevents him from moving on to his goal, to realize his dreams. This feeling does not allow to overcome the invisible barrier that separates from new achievements.
So, the hero of Dubov’s text believes that everything that could be invented was invented, what could be discovered was open, what could be written was written. The boy is upset that he was born late and now does not become famous. But is this the case? Our hero undertakes to write a book about his village Tyzhe, but having encountered the first difficulties, refuses this venture. If he was a little more persistent and more confident in himself, then he would have succeeded.
We all remember Akakiy Akakievich from the story of N.V. Gogol's "Overcoat". The hero was so unsure of himself that he was afraid to take up work requiring a little ingenuity and quick wit. Bashmachkin was calmer to carry out daily monotonous rewriting. Perhaps if he had not been so timid, his fate would have been different.
It can be concluded that self-doubt is a quality that prevents a person from achieving his goals.
Book example: The protagonist of the story I.S. Turgenev's Asya turned out to be a self-doubt. Mr. N. was frightened of responsibility and could not make a choice in time between love and prejudices that restrained his impulse. In the final, he remains alone, as Asya and his brother leave him irrevocably.
Movie example: In B. Shelton’s movie “Candy Bank”, the heroes lacked self-confidence, so they could not forge relationships with their peers. They covered up this uncertainty with tediousness and the race for academic success, but this did not solve the problem: at the age of 18 they became robots that do not live, but are constantly fighting for academic performance. In the final, they find the strength to overcome their complexes and find happiness in each other.
Media example: In one of the articles I read that great actors, as a rule, were terribly afraid of the scene. They grew up in self-doubt. On the way to a dizzying career, they had to deal with their shortcomings every day. And the fact that they emerged victorious from this battle made them truly great.
