Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. But with self-confidence you can succeed.

If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice from the most successful tramp I could find.

If I wanted to succeed in all things, I would look around me for those who are succeeding, and do as they have done.
