For want of self-restraint many
men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own
making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross-grained

achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control. - Samuel
Smiles

reason to accuse ourselves excessively of our failings than to excuse them

Sable

success. - George Matthew Adams

other people's rejection of you. It isn't necessary. - Melody Beattie

cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It

beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth, we have spoken it. -

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. - Jack
Welch
If
men are lacking in self-confidence, it is generally from an
over-estimate of the difficulties before them, or from an

way. Many noble and talented men and women fail in their lifework by
an under-estimate of their possibilities. - Nicias

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. - P.
C. Ganesan
Self-confidence
is a cure-all that can relieve worry and eliminate fear, the two
things that often stand in our way while striving for success.
Unfortunately, to gain confidence, you must attain a state of denial
by suspending reality. You must make yourself believe what you
suspect is not so. To gain this level of self-confidence, you need to
be willing to attempt that which common sense tells you not to do. -

The
power of self-confidence is derived from having faith in your own
ability to create and capture that which you want to achieve. It is a
self-confident hunter who will pursue an animal many times bigger and
stronger than himself. Likewise, in the world we live in today, no
obstacle is too large to overcome, if we have the faith in ourselves
to do it. - Aaron
R. Fodiman
Total
self-confidence is built through positive expectations. You can build
positive expectations by knowing that you have the power within to
overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. So many people have a magnetic
attraction to the past. They save mementos, clippings, old letters,
and trivia. There is nothing wrong with this, but if you want to
succeed, your mind must focus on where
you are going, not
on where
you have been. Instead
of saving mementos, clippings, old letters, and trivia from the past,
it would be more productive to make a scrapbook with pictures
of where
you want to go and what you want to be in
the future. - Robert
