Self confident people have three things in common.
? Self confident people are optimistic.
? Self confident people face their fears and deal with them.
? Self confident people surround themselves with positive people.
First, you cannot succeed in your life and career if you are a pessimist. You have to be optimistic. Dictionary.com defines pessimism as “The tendency to see, anticipate, emphasize or expect only bad or undesirable outcomes, results, conditions and problems.” Optimism is defined as “A disposition or tendency to look on the more favorable side of events or conditions and to expect the most favorable outcome.”
The 2008 Super Bowl was a good example. The media hype surrounding the game could have made the New York Giants wonder why they were even going to show up. But they did show up, and they won the game over the seemingly invincible New England Patriots. This isn’t a sports article, so that’s all I’m going to say about the 2008 Super Bowl. However, I do think that game is illustrative of President Eisenhower’s quote.
My answer was, “If I was accepted, I’m sure I can do the work. I’ll do fine.” And I did. Other people, no matter how well intended [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], expected me to struggle and maybe fail. I expected to flourish, and I did. To me, this expectation of success, my optimism, made all the difference.
I believe that all successful people have five things in common.
? Successful people are self confident.
? Successful people create positive personal impact.
? Successful people are outstanding performers.
? Successful people are great communicators.
? Successful people are interpersonally competent.
The other day, I came across a quote from Dwight Eisenhower. “Pessimism never won any battle.” I agree. In fact, I believe that a true pessimist would never even join the battle for fear of it being lost before it began.
President Eisenhower’s quote goes to the first two of these points.

“Expect” is the key word in both definitions. If we expect to fail, we probably will. If we expect to prevail, grow and flourish, we probably will. When I was accepted to graduate school at Harvard in 1980, and decided to enroll, several people took me aside and said something like, “Are you sure you want to do this? There will be some very smart, competitive people there. You might not do so well. I’m only telling you this for your own good.”
Second, we all face battles in our life. Often, the most significant of these battles is with ourselves and our fears
