This is something that that um is a
really important topic for me is that
there's a there's when you talk about
personality, so extroverts, introverts,
a lot of us really I know I did this. I
was all wrong about what confidence
meant. I thought confidence was a
personality trait.
I love this. Tell me more.
I thought that people that are outgoing
are the confident ones, right? And the
truth is confidence is not a personality
trait at all. It's a skill and a lot of
the extroverted people that you know are
actually very insecure. I used to be one
of them. I used to be the kind of bossy,
crass, loudmouth that didn't believe in
myself, that didn't believe in my ideas,
that didn't have the confidence and the
courage to really be the real me, who I
am, who I'm not, flaws and all. There
are tremendous number of introverted
people that feel uncomfortable
uh putting the attention on themselves,
but they're very very confident in their
ideas. They definitely believe in
themselves. And so when you start to
separate confidence not as a matter of
personality, but as a skill that you can
acquire, because confidence is the
ability to move, in my opinion, from
thought to action. Because when you're a
confident person, you believe enough in
yourself and your capabilities that
you're willing to try, that you're
willing to share. To me, confidence
isn't the assuredness that it turns out.
It's the willingness to try.
