  1. *Self Confidence = Repetition, Repetition, Repetition*

    Have you guys watched this? I think it may have changed my life a little…

    (No more words needed – watch it, thank me later.)

  2. When you look at the problems in the world, you will see that the vast
    majority of them are caused by self-confident assholes who could *really*
    stand to be more humble.

  3. the repetition thing doesn’t work for me…I practiced my speech for two
    weeks more than three times a day (recording it and in front of family
    members) and on the day of the speech I was still shaking or nervous

  4. sorry,this does not work…you have to actually done things to be
    confident…just saying it is simply very temporary and does not carry
    enough energy 

  5. this is yet another seminar where they bring up the topic of confidense and
    some of the behaviours connected to it, but not actually breaking it down
    and helping people…

  6. I wouldn’t call self confidence a skill, more like an understanding. And it
    seemed like he was talking more about self discipline most of the time
    rather than self confidence. Self Discipline… is more like a skill than
    self confidence I suppose. I’d probably call it more of an ability, but
    ability and skill- may as well be potato and pototto. 

  7. Just wrote a letter to my self with things I’m proud of. I suggest you do
    the same, it can be quiet uplifting.

  8. I have met a lot of very confident people who are not successful –
    especially in the arts. Who doesn’t know a rapper that thinks hes the
    greatest.

  9. 90% of this talk has NOTHING to do with confidence. Practice and confidence
    are not the same thing. Related, at times, yes. But not the same. If I tell
    people I’m going to “talk about cars” and all I discuss is spark plugs they
    would rightfully be unimpressed. 

  10. self confidence only comes out of deeper understanding of your true nature,
    of your infinite self. everything else is just false ego games.

  11. These are the speeches that stick.
    A powerful message delivered by the common man in a funny and simple way.
    Self confidence is without a doubt the most important skill you can attain.
    Let’s all start believing in ourselves – don’t think of it as selfish when
    you’re telling yourself you did great in those quiet moments. Because when
    you shine light on yourself, you shine light on others as well.

  12. Possibly the most important video on the internet. Parents NEED to watch
    this with their children, it’ll do them both wonders.

  13. LOL! Lance Armstrong? The wristband didn’t say “Live Strong”, it said,
    “Don’t leave your steroids in your gym bag”
