I am not confident around people. Maybe, I have become slightly more confident over the years because of my profession.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

No man needs sympathy because he has to work, because he has a burden to carry. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
