But I think many people misunderstand the term. You see, I believe I have abilities. I believe everyone does, and when I am doing something I know I have a skill in I never waver. I am confident. What I am not is without fear. I'm starting a new podcast series. I'm excited about it, but it's new territory. I'm nervous about interviewing people and yet I know I can talk. So, in that, I am confident. Meeting people puts me on edge but talking does not. I think we should look at our skills and find the strength in them to feel confident, and accept that fear is part of exploration. It doesn't mean you lack confidence it only means you lack knowledge or skill. I’m confident. But I think many people misunderstand the term. You see, I believe I have abilities.

Always easier said than done, but it is great to see when someone overcomes their fears. Just do it! Most likely, you won't regret it. Great post (and follow up posts)..

At least in Singapore, ego is normally seen as a bad thing. I think because the outward appearance of confidence sometimes can be seen as arrogance, and people (at least here) don't want to come across as arrogant. I just blogged about this topic a couple of days ago, would love to know what you think. http://derrickkwa.blogspot.com/2007/08/confidence-vs-arrogance.html Good post, I think the value of confidence is under-rated.

I wonder how much comes from supportive parenting and early environments... Also, the importance of experience - we gain confidence (and master fear) when we *do* things and reflect on the consequences, I think. It’s true.
