Courage is not given. It is not provided by another. One is not born courageous. It is not learned.

Confidence is not taught. It is not provided by others. One is not born confident. It evolves within from successful trials. and often after countless errors.

Courage and Confidence, do not often walk hand in hand, for many. One may be confident in his/her ability, yet lack the courage to act. Others may be courageous in their endeavors, yet lack confidence in their ability.

To be truly successful, one must have confidence in his/herself and the courage to act.
