I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking profile that you need.

The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural; for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage; my whole being surges toward the bars.

Who timidly requests invites refusal

One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time

Lack of confidence, sometimes alternating with unrealistic dreams of heroic success, often leads to procrastination, and many studies suggest that procrastinators are self-handicappers: rather than risk failure, they prefer to create conditions that make success impossible, a reflex that of course creates a vicious cycle.

Always do the things you fear the most. Courage is an acquired taste, like caviar.
