Last week I was privileged to attend a meeting with
outstanding academics and as soon as I was in that environment I was imbued
with a fresh charge of confidence. The
people in the same room as me exuded a sense of assurance that made me proud to
be amongst them.
As serious topics were discussed I made notes and thought of
questions to pose and answers to give. There was an electric charge of positivity
that was as refreshing as a spring rain after a season of drought.
On my drive home I wondered where and how different people
get confidence in their ability. Do they gain it from others or is it personally
created. At some point people have to believe in themselves, whether they are gifted
a seed or they make their own: personal confidence in you ability can take you
a long way.
This much I know.
