Confidence

Chapter 4

"Know your value. Confidence breeds success. Act like the person you want to become, and people will start seeing you as that person." ~ Mark M. Ford "With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self-confidence is very important. That sort of confidence is not a blind one; it is an awareness of ones own potential. On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities." ~ Dalai Lama "Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember ~ the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you." ~ Zig Ziglar "Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye." ~ Helen Keller "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson "Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained." ~ Marie Curie "Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality." ~ Les Brown "We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt "Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." ~ Norman Vincent Peale "Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can." ~ Paul Tournier "Never dull your shine for somebody else." ~ Tyra Banks
