INTRODUCTION

Self-confidence is about balance. At one extreme, we have people with low self-confidence. At the other end, we have people who may be over-confident.

INTRODUCTION…

And if you’re over-confident, you may take on too much risk, stretch yourself beyond your capabilities, and crash badly.

You may also find that you’re so optimistic that you don’t try hard enough to truly succeed.

INTRODUCTION…

If you are under-confident, you’ll avoid taking risks and stretching yourself; and you might not try at all.

Getting this right is a matter of having the right amount of confidence, founded in reality and on your true ability. With the right amount of self-confidence, you will take informed risks, stretch yourself (but not beyond your abilities) and try hard.

life. • You may tend to focus more on what you don't have, and

this takes time and attention away from recognizing and using your skills and talents.
