What is Confidence?

Let’s assume that you are really confident. You are very cool, and the center of attraction of any group that you associate with. Now, what if something changes in your life and it takes away this confidence?

In addition to that, what if the one soul you depended on, did the one thing you did not expect from them. Well, then, nothing happens – quite literally.

Nothing at all happens. Life moves on. No one can do anything. Some people sulk and get depressed about it, but – NOTHING happens. Bottom line is that, “Fortune favors the prepared mind”.

Be prepared for situations in life and things wont bother you at all. If things happen exactly opposite of the way you expect them to – well too bad; you should have been prepared!

Sounds very practical and logical, and straight forward – but what’s the opposite of all these things – women! Logic and the sense of the senses do not work with them. Hence our only option, as males, is to give in. Give in to the way things are happening. Once again, what if one gives in once, then is taken for granted and has to give in again, and this goes on forever. And then one day, something a hundred times worse happens to you – and you are being blamed for it.

As Rocky Balboa says, “It’s not how hard you can hit; It is how hard a hit you can take and keep going.” So, one takes as much as they can; and beyond. But then what if you get nothing back and the point of the entire effort fails?

Well then again, you should have been prepared!
