"When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't."
"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful."
"Just pick a goal, a goal you truly want to achieve, and take a clear-eyed look at your weaknesses--not so you'll feel less confident, but so you can determine exactly what you need to work on. Then get to work. Celebrate small successes. Analyze your weaknesses. Keep going. As you gain skill, you'll also gain a feeling of genuine confidence, one that can never be taken away--because you've earned it."
"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
"Confidence is a habit that can be developed by acting as if you already had the confidence you desire to have."
