Confidence Quotes

Confidence is that quality that makes a person stand above all failures and brickbats thrown at him/her. Confidence is the fuel, which propels one to move in the chosen direction, even when the tide is against them. However, confidence should not be mistaken with arrogance, which is nothing but unmerited confidence. In any endeavor, confidence is a must so that demotivation and criticism does not hinder your success. If you are at an all time low then read these confidence quotes to raise your spirits.

It's important to have people around you with enough confidence to say if you are not acting in a good way. Normally, when you are at the top, people say everything is fantastic. Probably in that moment it is what you want to hear, but it's best to be reminded how to act properly.

A lot of people, when a guy scores a lot of goals, think, 'He's a great player', because a goal is very important, but a great player is a player who can do everything on the field. He can do assists, encourage his colleagues, give them confidence to go forward. It is someone who, when a team does not do well, becomes one of the leaders.
