A Boatload of Confidence

ByMatthew

Confidence is going after Moby Dick in a rowboat and taking the tartar sauce with you. – Zig Ziglar

I love this quote because it illustrates, in a fun way, how to be really confident. (And, I love Zig Ziglar quotes!)

*  *  *

People sometimes confuse arrogance with confidence.

Confidence is belief in yourself and your ability to begin and follow through.

Arrogance is believing you’re better than someone else.

*  *  *

Confidence will allow you to take action and keep going no matter what happens.

Arrogance will turn and run at the first sign of real difficulty, looking for excuses or someone to blame.

*  *  *

Be confident.

Always choose confidence.

Remember the tartar sauce as you shove off in your rowboat.
