On increasing our potential
I’ve recently noticed that many times people tend to limit themselves and hence reduce their potential to achieve great things. This is particularly evident in the way many people tend to do very critical and harsh on themselves and on having the tendency to doubt themselves. Unfortunately, the outcome is that many live in fear of trying.
Taking the above into account, it comes as no surprise that many successful entrepreneurs possess a healthy dose of self-confidence. It is precisely this trait that allows them to overcome the many challenges thrown their way.
One could argue that people are born self-confident or not. However, I believe it is a question of education and training. In the Up series, the private education students make a clear point that they do not believe they have more opportunities than public school students - what they have is that they THINK they have more opportunities.
Time to give up self-doubt and criticism and get on with work!
