What’s Wrong With Being Confident?

Absolutely nothing!  I think that a lot of people these days, especially women are afraid to be too confident.  And we shouldn't.  Because confidence breeds success!

Here are some fun facts about confidence -

• Confidence is a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, children who think of themselves as the smartest in the classroom often get the best grades.
• Confidence has more to do with lifetime earnings than IQ. Studies show it’s better to be confident than smart.
• Not only can overconfidence make you successful even when you know you’re bluffing, it might eventually become just regular old confidence. So fake it 'til you make it.
• Maybe don't put that phone down!? Spending three minutes checking your Facebook can boost your confidence.
• Good news for gamers: Playing games with an idealized avatar of yourself can boost self-confidence.  So make sure your Mii is super hot!
• Learning a new skill provides a similar confidence boost to getting a $1,500 a year raise.  Hmmmmm... I've been wanting a raise... I guess I should learn how to sew or something.
• Sitting up straight in your chair will increase your overall confidence. This applies to posture overall... you remember what mom always said, sit up straight!
• Behaving confidently will make you feel more confident over time.

Most people will tell you that confidence is one of the most attractive features a person can have.  So, stand up tall!  Appreciate what's great about you, and don't apologize for it!
