Bad English masquerading as great emotion :(

Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella. Thats Confidence.

Excuse me. (clearing throat)
"On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella"
Thats NOT confidence. It shows that other people have NO confidence.

"One boy came with an umbrella". That IS confidence.

I am sure you see the difference, but people write things in English without thinking. They never even realize what they are themselves saying.
