“Resolve to do the things you find to be difficult. That's what confident people do. They tackle those things that are scary and they get addicted to doing it.”

“Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.”

“Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.”

“The biggest difference between people who possess confidence and those who lack it is their focus: confident people focus on what they can and will do, and people lacking confidence focus on what they can't, or might not be able, to do.”

“Even the most difficult things which you think you'll never get over you do get over, and in a trice you find they're behind you and you have to go on. New things await you.”

“People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you've figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.”
