More on Self Confidence
“As an attorney, I could be rather flamboyant in court. I did not act as though I were a black man in a white man's court, but as if everyone else - white and black - was a guest in my court. When trying a case, I often made sweeping gestures and used high-flown language.”
“It gave a tremendous level of self-confidence, that through exploration and learning one could understand seemingly very complex things in one's environment.”
“Self-confidence results, first, from exact knowledge; second, the ability to impart that knowledge.”
More on Self Esteem
“The man who is dissatisfied with himself, what can he do?”
“What good is any feeling we may have about ourselves, if it only lasts as long as others agree to it?”
“Determination and persistence are melded together. Their basis comes from people who stay hungry and don`t allow themselves to get too comfortable. Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being "good enough." There is no self-esteem in accepting the status quo. There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.”
