CONFIDENCE QUOTES III

quotations about confidence

My confidence was of the hothouse variety, carefully cultivated under highly regulated conditions. One wrong look, one mean comment, and my facade would wither.

JUSTINA CHEN

Confidence is ignorance. If you're feeling cocky, it's because there's something you don't know.

EOIN COLFER

Confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom; youth is the season of credulity.

speech, Jan. 14, 1766


Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.

CYNTHIA KERSEY

Unstoppable Women


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.

So my confidence doesn't come from not having any fear. It comes from trusting that in spite of my fear, I'm going to act; I'm going to take one step after another toward my goal.

VALENDA ROBINSON

Your Weight Is Over


Does everyone feel this way? When I was young, I was perpetually overconfident or insecure. Either I felt completely useless, unattractive, and worthless, or that I was pretty much a success, and everything I did was bound to succeed. When I was confident, I could overcome the hardest challenges. But all it took was the smallest setback for me to be sure that I was utterly worthless. Regaining my self-confidence had nothing to do with success...whether I experienced it as a failure or triumph was utterly dependent on my mood.

even then I will be confident.
