I did what I had to do to get where I wanted to go. I had unearned confidence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had gained so much confidence through my college achievements that I wanted to tackle the world.
I'm really grateful to my parents for having the confidence in me to let me go. I was terrified I might have to slink back to the village with my tail between my legs, and treated every job as though it were my last - I still do - but fortunately, I got work and things seemed to slot into place.
Confidence was never in short supply in my case. If anything, I think I overshot the mark with confidence way too early in my career, and gradually, it's about just getting more humble and wanting to sit down more.
I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
People wrote me off, but I believed in myself. I got the confidence back, and it grew and grew. I won my first major and my last at the place that changed my life.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.
Not to this extent but from day one I had an awful lot of confidence when I got started.
I could have easily gone down the wrong path and dropped out of school, but I was given a second chance.
I didn't have much confidence in myself... never.
I had a lot of self-confidence.
