Some time ago I wrote a post about how to guarantee self-confidence but I think it’s time to revisit that topic. I develop my ideas on behavior and problem solving using a very logical approach to find the cause and effect mechanisms at play. I came to the conclusion that confidence comes from the competence to do something and deliver a desire result with a high degree of certainty and repeatability. However, based upon responses here and there I think that a lot of people desire high-levels of generic self-confidence rather than specific confidence for certain things. I think that a lot of people are looking for ‘invincible’ self-confidence so let’s take a look at that issue.
