out　to　bee　more。　Confidence　is　not　something　a　few　people　are　born　with　and　others　are　not；　for　it　is　an　acquired　characteristic。

Confidence　is　the　personal　possession　of　no　one；　the　person　who　has　it　learns　it—and　goes　on　learning。　The　most　gifted　individual　on　earth　has　to　construct　confidence　in　his　gifts　from　the　basis　of　faith　and　experience；　like　anybody　else。　The　tools　will　differ　from　one　person　to　the　next；　but　the　essential　task　is　the　same。　Confidence　and　pose　are　available　to　us　all　according　to　our　abilities　and　needs—not　somebody　else’s—provided　we　utilize　our　gifts　and　expand　them。。　最好的txt下載網

One　of　the　most　rewarding　aspects　of　confidence　is　that　it　sits　gracefully　on　every　age　and　level　of　life—on　children；　men；　women；　the　famous；　the　obscure2；　rich；　poor；　artist；　executive；　teenager；　the　very　old。　And　you　can　take　it　with　you　into　old　age。　There　is　nothing　more　inspiring　than　an　old　person　who　maintains　his　good　will；　humor；　and　faith　in　himself；　in　others；　in　the　future。　Conversely；　the　root　cause　of　old　people’s　despair　is　a　feeling　of　not　being　wanted；　of　nothing　to　contribute；　no　more　to　conquer　and　bee。

Most　people　have　more　to　work　with　than　they　realize。　One　noted　physicist　calls　this　unused　excellencies　and　finding　and　releasing　this　potential　in　ourselves　is　one　of　the　major　challenges　of　modern　life。　The　great　danger　is　not　that　we　shall　overreach　our　capacities　but　that　we　shall　undervalue　and　under…employ　them；
