Without self-confidence, you are screwed. You are screwed because when you fail, you internalise the failure and never forgive yourself for it. You make yourself believe that the failure defines you, that you failed not because you used wrong methods, but because you personally are a failure. Equally, no matter what you achieve or do right, youll never be satisfied, because youll always believe that you are not good enough. Many great ideas died because they were born in the minds of people suffering from a low self-esteem. They were too afraid to bring those ideas to life, because they were more concerned with whether or not society would think those ideas are stupid. They feared being ridiculed. And so, no matter how intelligent, successful and beautiful a person may be, without self-confidence, they are screwed, because self-confidence is not a product of the approval of society, its a product of the approval of oneself, by oneself. Its the courage to dare to stand alone before a crowd, and firmly defend your convictions. Its the courage to not allow what people think of you to be what you think of yourself. Its to know that you have value, and to not make allowance for anyone to make you believe otherwise. If you can acquire this thing, this important thing called self-confidence, then yours is the earth and everything in it.
