Confidence

You know how sometimes you get your monthly cell phone bill, and it's waaay more than usual? Well, my little brother had a knack for calling up customer care, and convincing them to credit him the minutes back, even though it was indeed his own carelessness which caused him to go over his monthly minute allotment (this is pre-rollover days). So, when it happened to me, I called up my bro to see what I had to say, and how I had to say it, to get the same deal. His advice?

"First, you have to go look in the mirror, and convince YOURSELF that you didn't go over the minutes. Then, get on the phone with customer care, and tell them that you did not go over your minutes"

Moral of the story - YOU have to believe it before anyone else will.

Nothing can compare to the confidence you have when you believe in yourself. The Oracle, aka Wikipedia, even states that "Confidence can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as those without it may fail or not try because they lack it and those with it may succeed because they have it rather than an innate ability" Wiki

With all that being said, I finally jumped over 20 feet again! Hooraaaay! 6.20m to be exact, that's 20'4" for all you layman track heads. A small feat in comparison to my overall goals; but a step nonetheless.
