Confidence is Contagious
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
...
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
...
- Rudyard KiplingConfidence comes not from always being right
but from not fearing to be wrong.
- Peter T. Mcintyre
Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.
- Vince Lombardi
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it...
that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
- Dale Carnegie
Trust yourself. Only you can live your life.
Only you can taste your victories.
Only you can suffer the sting of your defeats.
Make your own choices, and accept your own consequences -
for better or worse.

Imagine What You Could Accomplish
Imagine what you could accomplish if you enrolled others into your dream.
The world changes when people of vision and commitment
create an infectious enthusiasm for their ideas.
What is your great idea whose time has come?

committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead
Idealism detached from action is just a dream.
But idealism allied with pragmatism,
with rolling up your sleeves and making the world bend a bit,

It's very real.
It's very strong.
- Bono
Individual commitment to a group effort -
that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi
Inattention is fertile soil for bad habits to grow stronger.
To break bad habits and cultivate behaviors you prefer,
use your power of conscious attention and daily practice.
An overfull calendar, like an overfull stomach,
is a consequence of taking on too much.
Commit, and eat, in moderation.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Too little commitment, and life becomes meaningless.
Too much focus on accomplishment, and you burn out.
Balance striving for success, with gentle self-care.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
If you don't enjoy your career, today is the day to begin a long-term plan for creating a career that interests and excites you. In the short term, even if you hate your job, look for small joys at work each day, perhaps in your interactions with customers and co-workers.
Whenever you feel you must hurry,
ask yourself whether the busyness is fulfilling your purpose in life.
