“Please do make your decisions in life and feel confident that they are right.However, if fate is involved, feel just as confident even if they aren’t.”

“All we can do is make the best decisions we can with the best information we have at that time and place. And learn how to rebound, reinvent, and regroup. Remember—people who seem to move through life with confidence aren’t confident about the outcome of a decision; they’re confident that they can deal with the outcome, good or bad.”

“Happiness is feeling confident that the god of this universe is pleased with the things you say and do.”

“Maturity is largely about acquiring the confidence and the competence to make your own decisions.”

“...as long as you are motivated by the approval of others, you cannot know with confidence whether the decisions you are making in your life are what's right for you...”

“Please stop. Do not take me into your confidence, do not take me into your heart, for my owncannot bear it.”
