Is THAT you best shot? Sad....

I DO agree that those that believe in themselves will be succesful.

The world is littered with people who "believe in themselves" yet
still suck at their chosen activity; basketball courts, talent shows,
corporate meetings, poetry readings, etc., etc. There's no shortage
of people at those places who have 100% faith in their abilities
despite what everybody else sees. There's also people who lack
confidence in themselves who turn out to be really good. The two
characteristics are barely correlative (but it makes good troll
material on Usenet).

<g> You make a valid point Mike. Lesson learned.

Yes a very valid point. But look at the other side of the story ... how many people that do not believe in themselves enjoy any degree of success ... using for reference their *own* definition of 'success."
