Confidence


“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”

Eleanor Roosevelt


Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City on October 11, 1884. Roosevelt was both her birth name and her married name. Eleanor married her fifth cousin Franklin D. Eleanor Roosevelt. She was best known as the first lady of the US, from 1933-1945. She was active in social work and Democratic politics. She was also a passionate writer, she wrote about racial equality, woman’s rights, and world peace. In 1935, she began a syndicated column, "My Day" which she continued to write

Believe in yourself, and whatever you are doing. Having confidence makes things easier to do. Even if you fail do not be afraid to try again. We learn by our mistakes and grow from them. Being afraid won’t help you succeed. Facing your fears and conquering your quest makes you stronger because your experience gives you knowledge. Knowledge is power. You can do whatever you set your mind to.
