quotations about confidence
Calm self-confidence is as far from conceit as the desire to earn a decent living is remote from greed.

We all intuitively know that confidence is important. Most of us know that if you always struggle with confidence then something is wrong. Either you are suffering from low self-esteem or you are working or living in the wrong place. It just doesn't match. However, did you know that if you never struggle with confidence, you obviously are not stretching yourself far enough. You are not pressing to the edge of your abilities. In other words, the only way to never struggle with confidence is to play it safe. Play it known. Play it in a way that you achieve stability, but lose opportunity.

There are those who lack confidence in their own abilities, timid, fearing ones who always underrate their own efforts. Mankind is, however, not largely afflicted with this class.

Self-confidence cannot be totally destroyed, for it is an inbuilt ingredient of our growth and evolution. What happens is that self-confidence is suppressed by the conditioning of the mind by external forces. A negative syndrome is formed. We can overcome this syndrome by taking a strong, positive view of life.

Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Legitimate self-confidence is a winner. The true test of self-confidence is the courage to be open--to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source. Self-confident people aren't afraid to have their views challenged. They relish the intellectual combat that enriches ideas.
