Does your face convey confidence?

By David365 311 days ago from http://confident1.com

Does my photograph on the top right of this page give weight and authority to what I write? Or does it put you off, as I look a bit of a wimp? And if you subscribe by RSS you don’t have to look at me at all! Researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts have come up with an interesting take on faces. Using photographs

Stop feeling sorry for yourself

By David365 319 days ago from http://confident1.com

My recent posts have highlighted the less than perfect starts of people who went on to great success in their chosen fields. Despite an affluent background, Stephen Fry described his teenage years as having a “tendency to lie, cheat and steal“. So much so that at 18 he was sent to prison for 3 months for credit card fraud!

By David365 351 days ago from http://confident1.com

Over the last couple of weeks, it was impossible to listen to a news bulletin without hearing the phrase “road map” - Politicians seem to like their Road Maps. As we head for a new year, many see it essential to start looking at new goals, “resolutions”, perhaps their own road map. I did raise the question a few weeks ago, are goals necessary

Does Attitude Count more than Ability?

By David365 323 days ago from http://confident1.com

It did lead me to dig out my old copy of Success, which I purchased in Chicago on my only visit (to date) to the USA - in February 1982. Ironically 1982 was the least successful year of my life as I spent most of it unemployed and lacking confidence in myself. I had ye

Do you suffer from gluckschmerz?

By David365 331 days ago from http://confident1.com

Envy can totally undermine your self confidence. But in every situation we encounter in life, there is always going to be someone who is that bit better than us, with a better suit/smile/figure/speaking voice/whatever At the same time, there will always be something you can do better than them.

Have you a dream?

By David365 335 days ago from http://confident1.com

What this all comes back to, is what do you really want? I’ve discussed the terms passion and burning desire, another word is dream. Do you have a dream? At a young age we may dream of becoming a world champion or being a celebrated actor - “leaving our footprints in the sands of time” I took the photograph above on New Years day. This shows

By David365 339 days ago from http://confident1.com

Today is the last day of 2007. Many people are busy setting New Years Resolutions like “I will lose 20lbs”, “I will stop smoking”, “I will go to the gym twice a week”. The sort of resolutions/targets/goals - whatever you want to call them - that have often fizzled out by the end of January.

Build a self confidence portfolio

By David365 359 days ago from http://confident1.com

Confidence is a tangible and definite feeling you experience within yourself. That emotional feeling drives you forward, shapes your beliefs - particularly the belief that you can do what you want to do.
