| Every
inspirational champion has it. Every genuine
leader has it, too. Raw talent has less to do with
it because the edge comes from confidence nurtured
by two crucial factors: first, our knowing that we
have prepared painstakingly for a challenge --
physically and mentally; and second, our learning
that a competent, respected mentor believes in us.
Coddling words of a merely appointed authority
figure – the kind who often avoids his obligation
to confront our faults – cannot produce this
trademark self-assurance. |
