Those who are silent, self-effacing and attentive become the recipients of confidences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.
I sometimes lack confidence in public, although I am proud enough inwardly.
Confidence is a very fragile thing.
Confidence is something you're born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.
The greatest part of intimate confidences proceed from a desire either to be pitied or admired.
I think the best way to have confidence is not to allow everyone else's insecurities to be your own.
Giving people self-confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do. Because then they will act.
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 used to say in the cabinet room, 'confidence is not like a can of Popeye spinach - you can't take the top off and swallow it down.' You know, confidence has to be earned.
There's no such thing as lack of confidence. You either have it or you don't.
