confidence

Take risks, who knows, you may be the next winner.

If you are reading this, you will get what you want. Believe in yourself and that's inspiration.

Ask with Confidence, listen with humility.

Greatness is not a gift that one can give to another, but rather is a thief's relic that we must take for ourselves.

Someone with a low degree of epistemic arrogance is not too visible, like a shy person at a cocktail party. We are not predisposed to respect humble people, those who try to suspend judgement. Now contemplate epistemic humility. Think of someone heavily introspective, tortured by the awareness of his own ignorance. He lacks the courage of the idiot, yet has the rare guts to say "I don't know." He does not mind looking like a fool or, worse, an ignoramus. He hesitates, he will not commit, and he agonizes over the consequences of being wrong. He introspects, introspects, and introspects until he reaches physical and nervous exhaustion.This does not necessarily mean he lacks confidence, only that he holds his own knowledge to be suspect. I will call such a person an epistemocrat; the province where the laws are structured with this kind of human fallibility in mind I will can an epistemocracy.

It's not that I can't express myself,it's that I still feel present when I'm not expressing myself.

There was no guarantee of victory if I remained the same or just tried to be myself, but there was certain defeat in pretending to be something I was not.

Confidence is not about being self-centered. It's about being emotionally centered, so you can better see other people.

A lie with confidence is more powerful than a truth without it.

Don__ let the fact you haven__ done something before convince you that you can__ do it, or that it cannot be done perfectly the first time you try your hand at it.

no girl can permanently bolster up a lame-duck visitor, because these day it's every girl for herself.

The elevator to success broke a long time ago, the problem is too many people are too lazy to take the stairs.

She was alive. She was alive, and she had found her power _ or it had found her.Tomorrow__ problems she__ take care of tomorrow.

Overcoming challenges purifies you like gold to become bold.

Heroes are not made. They are born out of circumstances and rise to the occasion when their spirit can no longer coexist with the hypocrisy of injustice to others.

When someone points out your past mistakes, look at them dead in the eyes and follow with, 'and I__ do it all again to have the life I have now.

I had already made a decision early on that I would be a plain girl with lots of personality, and accepting it made everything a lot easier. If you are lucky, there is a moment in your life when you have some say as to what your currency is going to be.

You have people out here trying to tell you to accept imperfections and that nobody is perfect (except for a dead/make-believe entity?) but if you are telling yourself that you are not perfect, aren't you downgrading your own character? Why would you keep telling yourself you are less than what you are? Why destroy your pride? People, raise your heads and gain some vanity. If you are the best in the world at what you do, and the best in the world in who you are, you are certainly perfect. The only way you are not perfect, is if you let everyone fool you into believing you are not perfect; that you are the same as everyone else - less than what you are and could be.
