“TEN RULES FOR WINNING THE GAME OF CONFIDENCE The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later. Genuine confidence is not the absence of fear; it is a transformed relationship with fear. Negative thoughts are normal. Don’t fight them; defuse them. Self-acceptance trumps self-esteem. True success is living by your values. Hold your values lightly, but pursue them vigorously. Don’t obsess about the outcome; get passionate about the process. Don’t fight your fear: allow it, befriend it, and channel it. Failure hurts—but if we’re willing to learn, it’s a wonderful teacher. The key to peak performance is total engagement in the task.”

“هیچ کس در این دنیا -چون در بطن موقعیت خاص انسانی دیگر قرار ندارد- نمی تواند احساس صحیح و درستی در مورد بدی یا خوبی مسئله ای داشته باشد ، حالا خواه این مسئله به خوشبختی یا بدبختی ، به عش یا به "افت هنری" ارتباط داشته باشد. واقعیت امر این است که هر مردی همواره به نوعی خارج از وضعیت و شرایط انسانی دیگر قرار دارد”
