“You can be confident and secure and know that you do a good job at what you do but you don't have to be arrogant about it.”

“And don't worry too much about security. You will eventually have a deep security when you begin to do what you want.”

“If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.”

“Act as if you know what you are talking about and people will assume that you do. Pretend you have no fear and you will appear confident to others.”

“For God's sakes, quit worrying about your next job. Just do the best you can at the job you have now, and the offers will come. And when they do, if you have confidence in yourself you don't have to feel that you can't turn it down if it isn't quite right for you because you fear you'll never get another offer. You will. Wait for the right opportunity, and turn down all the rest. It will make all the difference.”

“You can have pride in what you do each day, but not arrogance in what you were born with.”
