The confidence you need is belief in your potential. If you see world-class potential in yourself, you'll put in the effort. If you don't see the potential, you won't put in the effort and you'll wait for the performance, and the performance always follows the belief in self.

Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time.

Make certain that your goals are not measured in comparison with others.

Each week set 1 day aside to do something you've always wanted to do.

Don't wait for an employer, friend, or mentor to show appreciation for your work. Take pride in your own efforts on a daily basis.

Winning is a feeling you have no ceiling.

Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the "someday I'll" philosophy.
