Look up self-confidence in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
The socio-psychological concept of self-confidence relates to self-assuredness in one's personal judgment, ability, power, etc., sometimes manifested excessively.[1]
Source of self confidence
Professor Raj Persaud posits that true self confidence comes from an attitude where you:
Promise yourself, no matter how difficult the problem life throws at you, that you will try as hard as you can to help yourself. You acknowledge that sometimes your efforts to help yourself may not result in success, as often being properly rewarded is not in your control.[2]
