    Success comes from self-confidence;
    self-confidence comes from the accumulation of successes.

    This old man, Mr Wang Deshun, 79, became an overnight sensation in China when he did a catwalk during last year's Beijing fashion week. When asked by reporters how he managed to exhibit that arrogance in his catwalk, Mr Wang replied: "arrogance comes from self-confidence, self-confidence comes from the accumulation of successes.". How true! If we want to develop self-confidence in say, public speaking, we want to start with a small group of audience and accumulate some successes before moving to a bigger stage. Think Big, Start Small, but Act Now!

    hats off to this legend!

    ~ "Success comes from self-confidence; self-confidence comes from the accumulation of successes."

    Very true but i think the below from Sir Anthony Hopkins is also very relevant when it comes to success and self confidence:
    “My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.”

    One thing to be wary of is that not minding what others say and not caring about what they say are very different. Not minding leads to self improvement(including building confidence) while not caring leads to self detachment(building arrogance)
