What is it that makes you feel confident?

dear K...here is a quote from Deng Ming-Dao from his book 365 Tao Daily Meditations published in 1992 by HarperSanFrancisco...."You don't even OWN your body. ultimate ownership would mean TOTAL CONTROL. you would never age. You could make it as beautiful as you wanted. you would never suffer from any accidents. But the fact is, that we are all imprisoned in flesh that ages, decays, becomes diseasedand can be destroyed by some rather minor accidents. you DON'T own your body. You live in a BORROWED shell. Why not SEEK the TRUTH that GOES BEYOND the body?"....stanzi

I come from a small town,which makes me feel inferior to others. I didn't like to speak in public,being afraid of losing face. I lived in my small world,letting away many good chances. I know it's not a good thing, so I'm doing something to change this. I try to find some good qualities in me.Then I find in friends minds,I'm a kind,warm-hearted and helpful girl.That gives me some confidence. Now I'm doing some extra job to full myself...

Its my home town..my knowledge that makes me feel confident of myself..

knowledge and my attitude makes me feel confident. sometimes the way i dress and look also makes me feel confident, but knowledge i guess is more important to feel confident, the way you speak and behave also has impact.
