Confidence and self-esteem do not come in fixed amounts – they vary from place to place, moment to moment according to what you’re doing and with whom. For example, some people are extremely confident at work but fail in their relationships; and many brilliant individuals can barely string two words together when away from the security of their offices or laboratories.How about you?Take a close look at yourself. Step back and observe. The more self-aware you are, the more control you have over your life. Then, and only then, is lasting change possible. “Know yourself, know your enemy, A hundred battles, a hundred victories. Mao Tse-Tung ”
