I took cooking classes when I was younger; girls weren't interested in me, and I thought I may be alone for the rest of my life.

Confidence allows you to progress in something you're attempting to accomplish, whether it's playing basketball or baseball or whether it's trying to succeed in business.

If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.

People say they wish they were Michael Jordan. OK, do it for a year. Do it for two years. Do it for five years. When you get past the fun part, then go do the part where you get into cities at three a.m. and you have fifteen people waiting for autographs when you're as tired as hell.
