In the original schematic, it is non-polarized capacitor. Since these types of capacitors are more difficult to find laying around, you can substitute by placing two polarized electrolytic caps in series with the two negative terminals connected, as shown on layout. Just remember that the same value can be obtained by using two same value caps divided by two. So two 10uf caps connected this way would be equal to 5uF

So I should take two polarized 10uf capacitors and join their negative terminals with each other and this will do the job Right ?? I have two 10uf 25V polarized capacitors

As you should know, especially if you intend to construct your own projects, how to identify components types etc., And how to read schematic diagrams. Just the basics.
Polarized caps, as the name implies, have a positive and a negative end.
The 0.22(220nf) are regular polystyrene caps.

When it comes to capacitors, they are application specific, that is to say the different types are so designed to give them special purpose applications, depending on what is required.
Electrolytic, tantalum, ceramic, polystyrene,etc,etc. All have unique characteristics.
So you should be careful which type of cap the schematic recommend.
