A living example to the word 'Confidence' is the legendary boxer 'Muhammed Ali'. He is an inspiration to not just the boxing world but for everybody who want to be the greatest!! Many of his quotes and speeches are very inspiring, he is a great example for how confidence can charge up a person with energy and enthusiasm.
Confidence should grow from within you. You can draw inspiration from different sources, get inspired and feel more confident in life. I used to gain motivation from achievements of sportsmen, military documentaries, etc. As a kid I used to watch lots of action films, documentaries on military missions, at school I believed that someday am gonna join the military, train with the guns and heavy combat tools, drive tankers and fight the enemy.
I remember a documentary aired on the tv during the summer holidays of 2001. The Commander says, "Do you have the guts to look straight into your enemy's eyes when they point a gun on your head? Without fear?". The troop shout aloud, "Yes Sir". "Have you got the spirit to fight and die for your country?". Again they say, "Yes Sir". Though I didn't get to join the military, such stuff made me more confident driving away fear of failure and fear of death.
Today's video is one of Muhammad Ali's speeches, you can see how confident he is, his words start to influence you, can motivate you. He is just another human like you and me, if you keep your spirit high, you can definitely be a winner too in your field!!

He says, "I've done something new for this fight. I 'wrestled' with an alligator. That’s right. I have 'wrestled' with an alligator. I’ve 'tussled' with a whale. I've 'handcuffed' lightning, 'thrown' thunder into a jail. That’s bad! Only last week I 'murdered' a rock, 'injured' a stone, 'hospitalised' a brick! I’m so mean I make medicines sick!". "I know you got him picked, but the man's in cover, I will show you how great I am". There are many more of his speeches, check them when you feel down, you'd be amazed at how someone could ever be this confident.
Quotes like, "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves", by William Shakespeare and "You are the Creator of your own destiny", by Swami Vivekananda - make us realise that what we do and what we achieve in life is entirely upto us, we hold our destiny in our hands and how confidently you step forward and win your goals and dreams decides how happy and content you will be in your future.
Confidence is believing in yourself, that you can definitely achieve it and you have it in you, so why wait? Just go for it, be a winner!!
Have a wonderful day, take care :)

Wonderful example for self-motivation, confidence, hardwork, etc. Muhammad Ali, nicknamed "The Greatest" is a best example of a person who know him very well. In tamil we say "Over-confidence odambukku aavathu". This man's speech will hear like over-confidence but his life has proved his speech right.
I have read abt him, but on visual i have only seen the movie "Ali" starring "Will Smith". He has done a wonderful performance of Muhammad Ali. :) :) :)
