It's O.K. to fail. Just keep putting yourself there. Once I started saying that and really believing that, over time, it just gradually gave me confidence.
True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.
I had gained so much confidence through my college achievements that I wanted to tackle the world.
I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
My success was due to good luck, hard work, and support and advice from friends and mentors. But most importantly, it depended on me to keep trying after I had failed.
