**CONFIDENCE**

                          Confidence never comes

                         from having all the answers;

                         It comes from being open to all the questions.

                          ~ Unknown ~

                        We needn’t be expert at a task

                       to be confident in our ability.

                       We are competent, capable,

                       intelligent, flexible individuals...

                       and we ought show this in all we do!

                       We oughtn’t feel exasperated

                       by difficult questions...

                      we ought be exhilarated by the challenge...

                      and grateful for the opportunity it affords us

                      to grow, to gain new knowledge,

                      to work towards our own success.

Today, let us approach difficult situations

with confidence that we have within us

the ability to succeed.
