Really confident people do not need to speak about or flaunt how confident they are. Real confidence is unshakable and is not determined by any outside person, situation or event. You don’t need someone to boost your confidence, or to accomplish something to feel good about yourself. What you need is a philosophy that you can live by, and be proud of yourself for. When you are a good person, when you set out to achieve your dreams, when your morals raise above laws and politics, you will be self-confident. - Alex Shalman [...] [...] Self-confidence lives in the now, and has everything to do with your philosophy.

If you study ancient literature, history, etc. you'll find that many ideas or not new, rather rephrased from different view points. I agree.

Here is his 7 steps to self-confidence, I think it will be interesting for the readers of your blog: 1. <b>Know who is responsible.</b> Accept personal responsibility for your behavior. Say “I’m responsible”. Confidence is an attitude, and we acquire our attitudes. 2. <b>Believe in something big.</b> Your life is worth a noble motive. 3. <b>Practice tolerance.</b> You will like yourself a lot more, and so will others. 4. <b>Be brave.</b> Courage is acting with fear, not without it. If the challenge is important to you, you’re supposed to be nervous. Be in control, make a plan, and focus on solution. 5. <b>Love someone.</b> 6. <b>Be ambitious.</b> No single effort will solve all of your problems, achieve all of your dreams, or even be enough. To want to be more than we are is real and normal and healthy. 7. <b>Smile.</b> Because no one can do it for you. //Sleeping Dude Some time ago I’ve read Walter Anderson’s book The Confidence Course.

Like Steve said in an earlier comment, it's nice to see people separating self-confidence with outgoing arrogance. Self-confidence is the belief you have of yourself... not how talkative or outgoing you are. Matthew http://www.InspirationToAchieve.com Great post.

A lot of people confuse arrogance or boasting with confidence. You can tell a truly confident person by the way they carry themselves and their overall body language. You are also correct that to achieve true confidence in any area of your life, you must have a well defined purpose that excites you to the point of extreme stubborness. Not matter what the obstacles they will achieve their goals because they are confident they will eventually. Really enjoy your blog...I check it daily.
