Confidence

Are you easily dissuaded. readily persuaded change
mind to alter views to amend your decisions
in policy, opinions plans?
In this world of Kaleidoscope change, in
uences necessarily assai they decoy, detract defect
US from the path of predetermined purpose
There is possession which nsures undstubed poise
and undeterred pursuit of any prescribed objective It
plishes the end originally designed.
Confidence is the key Build it develop it. seek less
from without gain within Be
self-sufficent
Confidence brings adherence to convictions despite
their conflict with views of others calculated to revoke
them.
Confidence is the offspring of faith in self and in ones
work Confidence born of belief in personal power and
in that which is sought of attainment
To be wel-todo found the wilto-do on basis of con-
fldence Ambition commences condolences carries thru,
