Self Importance
Self confidence is different
From self importance, one must note.
Self confidence gives you courage.
Self importance hides your weakness.

Confidence
(words & music by tepper - bennett)
When everyone thought the world was flat
Columbus said its round
He went down in history
And america was found
cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
With a c and an o and an n and an f
And an I and a d and an ence
Put em all together and what have you got
Confidence
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
Remember the tortoise and the hare
Who had that famous race
The speedy hare wound up nowhere
And slow poke took first place
cause
He had confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
How do you know that you cant ride a rainbow in the sky
Youll be surprised what you can do
If you will only try
All you need is confidence
A little thing called confidence
Theres no job too immense when youve got
Confidence
With a c and an o and an n and an f
And an I and a d and an ence
Put em all together and what have you got
Confidence
Confi ..... confi .... confidence

Maybe Next Time.
Today is the day theres no doubt,
I'm gonna talk to her, I'm gonna let it all out.
I'm walking with such confidence, bravery, I'm so Prepared.
But on the inside, why have I never been so scared?
I've been thinking about it all night,
I know what I'm gonna say, that smile of hers ever so bright.
This is no delusion, this is real,
But how does she truly feel?
I'm nervous, shyness is engulfing my mind and actions,
My mind is going blank, my thoughts are such distractions.
Time is flying by, its the last minute! Where did it all go?
I seem to have misplaced it, I need courage! Oh no.
My overflowing thoughts have been subjected to a drought,
I need courage to stand out.
Courage to be me,
This courage I wish I had so drastically!
Alright, okay I need to calm down,
I cant permit myself to look like a clown.
The importance of this to me should not be ignored,
This is what I've been working so hard toward.
I've thought about this long enough,
I need to show her, I'm Mr.Wonderful, I'm tough!
Just how difficult is this? Perhaps no one knows,
Its finally ti- O shoot! There she goes!

The finished product is often of less importance than the skills and confidence gained through the process and the way in which the community is strengthened through people in it work and are brought together.

Be it a potted pant
One may draw confidence
From the robe or crown he wears.
One may draw confidence
From the skin he possesses.
One may boast with confidence
From the connection he has.
Confidence grows to pride,
Pride, to conceit and conceit,
To vanity or atrocity.
Be confidence a potted plant.

Confidence | Words of Wisdom
Don’t mistake power for confidence
You’ll never never like how it ends
Take your stance and understand
Confidence is the greatest tool
Confidence is power that’s my first rule
Now weapons aren’t that sharp even from the start
But confidence is evident etched with in your brain
Confidence is sharper than any razor blade
Individuality is a packaged deal
You’ve got to trust yourself and know yourself for real
Now trying to control ain’t gonna work
Power is a tool that’s broke
Too much effort, too much mess,
Leaving a trail of broken heart and broken glass
So there’s my proof I say it with confidence

The Importance of Confidence and Trust
She said she loved me
I was not confident
If she really meant it
I doubted
She left me
A friend said I trust you
I was not confident
If he really meant it
I doubted
He departed
A neighbor said
Door of my house
Was left open in the night
I thought he is fooling
I didn’t believe
My house was burgled
Lack of trust,
Confidence and doubt
Made big dents in my life
I am lonely
No friend, no neighbor
To share my plight
Now I realize
The importance
Of confidence and trust
Same yardstick
Of doubting everybody
Has never helped
Anybody

'If you have no confidence in self,

With confidence,

The unhappy legacies of authoritarianism can be removed only if the concept of absolute power as the basis of government is replaced by the concept of confidence as the mainspring of political authority: the confidence of the people in their right and ability to decide the destiny of their nation, mutual confidence between the people and their leaders and, most important of all, confidence in the principles of justice, liberty and human rights.

The Importance of Being
To teach every day
Is a dream come true?
But to see the face
Of a student
Who suddenly understands?
The importance of being
The inner shinning light
When it clicks just right
Leaves you warm inside
At the confidence
They now bring
I love what I do
I love what I teach
I hope I've made
A difference in their life

Beauty is the ego’s food
Women, you don’t mind time and money,
In a bid to look good as long as you could,
And spend more on skin than for belly Why?
It gives you self-confidence.
You are in command of men.
Confidence brings you beauty.
Beauty brings you confidence
Both bring you youthfulness.Carry on.

Confidence
Men, who man the machines
Repose confidence in them
Which they should
To a limit
Which be ascertained by inner self
Confidence when bursts the seams
Leads to inevitable
Which
Becomes evitable with bursting seams
Paradoxically
No confidence reposed on man
Who can respond
If not for evitable
Can avoid the inevitable.

Confidence
Not easily refined or defined,
Is confidence.
Nor is it cropped to pluck,
Off from a Sun drenched vine.
To slowly savor for the flavor.
Confidence is a development.
A work in progess.
Not recited from studied print.
Nor listening as lectured...
From a podium will convince,
The taking of notes...
Will provoke it into existence.
Confidence,
Similar to experience...
Is something done,
That is seldom pleasant...
When it comes as a personal delivery.
And...
Most times arrogance is misrepresented for it.
However,
It does take obedience and strength to listen.
To then comprehend that failure does not mean to stop,
To yield and repeat flops.
As a sign that ambition obtained has been dropped.
No,
It does not!
Caution perhaps,
To proceed at your own risk.
But confidence does not allow obstacles to prevent,
Progress.
Or the jumping over hurdles.
Since each hurdle cleared...
Removes the fear to face another.
Clarifying anyone's doubt about confidence adopted!

(Humility Poem) A Nobody
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Just trust me.
Let someone else make a stand and lead.
Captain please get me my steed.
A horse of a mighty fine breed indeed.
Fast as she can go we're off to to save the world to be.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Sir great knight, you have made so many of such wise decisions.
In the past and present.
Why won't you let us follow you to all of our deaths?
I don't desire to be your mistake.
A choice of whose blood to spill.
It will be only my own, I must do this all alone.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Let me teach from afar.
Let me never be your fallen star.
A disgraceful man who's got so little to show for all his hard work.
Please don't ask me If you can plaster me all over your tea shirts.
Idol not a single a human being.
Because no one as a individual is that great.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Mistakes will be made by both the cowardly and brave.
How far will you go to get entangled in the web we make.
To say I was part of this mans life.
Even if it was lies in which you created.
A once upon a time he was celebrated.
Now he has become just so jaded.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
