Someone once defined confidence as “is an attitude or feeling of trust, belief, assurance in oneself or others or even a thing”. Confidence is believing: believing in yourself, and believing in your abilities and capabilities. With confidence, you feel on top on top of the world. It is an amazing feeling. A feeling in which you enjoy what you do. For athletes, confidence gives you drive. A drive that pushes you to train harder, to train longer, and
To train better. All of which you do to ensure that you won't lose the feelings that come along with that small sense of good self-esteem. Whether in business, sports or education, confidence is what is needed to achieve success and greatness in all works of life. That ability to believe in your self-worth, your values, and the quality to persevere and withstand pressure against overwhelming odds is one ingredient that creates a champion in all of us. Some of us had great parents who instilled positive values, which in turn made us believe we could become, do or be anything in life. Others did not, but perhaps found confidence later in life in other ways, such as through sports or by forging ahead in academics and within the workplace.

They may say things like, I can’t, I’m not sure of myself,
Everything I do always turnout bad, I’ll fail even if I try. This words are words of an emotionally defeated individual. Words like this does nothing but bring you down, make you inactive, belittles your personality, and make you feel less than you really are.
With a greater level of self-confidence in one’s ability, and strength, one is able to influence people and
Circumstances positively on a large scale. It’s a known fact that people are naturally attracted and drawn towards people that are confident. Confident people bring out the best in others. They make us
Believe we can. They inspire victory instead of defeat, hope instead of failure and always courageous to take on new challenges. We feel more confident when we are among confident people.
STAY SMART, STAY SHARP AND STAY CONFIDENT.
