Confidence quotes can appeal to and inspire even those without self-esteem problems. That is why we decided to make a selection with the best quotes and aphorisms about self-confidence.
Self-confidence - This is a personality trait, the essence of which is a positive assessment of one's own skills, abilities and abilities, as well as an understanding that they are enough to achieve significant goals and satisfy all human needs.
In this case, self-confidence should be distinguished from self-confidence.
Overconfidence - this is an unfounded confidence in the absence of minuses and negative character traits, which inevitably leads to negative consequences. Therefore, when people say about someone that they are self-confident, they usually mean negative connotations.
So, self-confidence is bad, and self-confidence is not only good, but also necessary for a full life of any person.
We have already discussed these concepts in detail in the article “How to develop self-confidence”. Recommended for reading.
