Every successful person—from Bill Gates to Ted Turner will tell you that they only accomplished their goals because they always believed in themselves. They were not born with self-confdence—Ted Turner is a classic example. He created the belief in himself, never accepting anyone who doubted him. Today he is one of the richest men in the world.
Self-confidence is something you can create and perfect—just like Bill Gates, Ted Turner or anybody else that you consider successful. In fact if you examined the track record of every successful person—you'll fnd that they failed more often than they succeeded. They didn't dwell on their failures. They concentrated on their goals, believed in themselves and pushed ahead.
Recently Kurt Warner was named the National Football League's Most Valuable Player Again!Several years ago nobody wanted him. He was playing in the arena and world football league. He was never even a great quarterback in college and hence—everybody overlooked him. He fnally got his chance three years ago when he was a backup for the Saint Louis Rams. The starting quarterback was gone for the season because of an injury. Kurt Warner stepped in and dazzled fans, the league and his peers as he led the Rams to a Super Bowl Championship. Kurt Warner never gave up on himself. He never stopped believing in himself and kept going. Sure there were many failures along the way to win the Super Bowl—not being drafted out of college is just one of them. But he didn't focus on his failures. He kept his eye on the present and succeeding—always believing he would succeed. And he did!
Successful people are not always successful. But they don't focus on their failures—and this helps create the self-confdence that propels them to greater success. They develop their mind power and feed their subconscious a daily dose of positive thinking that increases their self-esteem and confdence.
Friends, I've traveled a long way from home. I'm a man of Indian descendant, born in Kenya, grew up in Canada and enjoy a successful career in Television News. I have been an anchor, a Programer, a producer, and am always a public speaker. I have talked to thousands of people with ease. I have delivered the news live to millions of people. I could not do any of this if I did not have any self-confdence or did not believe in myself. In fact when I set out to become a journalist some people thought I was crazy. Why?Because no other person of Indian descendant had been on television delivering the news. I was the frst in Canada and the frst in the United States. I could not have done any of this without self-confdence.
