About This Quote

Confidence is one of the most attractive qualities that a person can possess. It is also one that many people lack. Confidence is, in fact, an ignorant belief to be certain things and it is extremely important for a person to realize this. The fact of the matter is: there are things you don't know.

When you believe something to be true without having the evidence to back it up, what you believe may not be true at all. What should you do if you're getting cocky about your skills? Seek out people who can help show you what to do and how to do it.
