What is confidence, you want to know?  Well…confidence is:

– Going to the race track for the first time in your life and betting every penny you have on a 50 to 1 shot.

– Walking through Central Park at night and carrying your life savings in your wallet.

– Spending all your savings on a huge luxury car because you’re the gas shortage won’t last.

– Telling a mugger armed with a gun that you won’t give him your money and he can’t make you.

– Mailing the only copy of a book it took you five years to write to a publisher without putting a return address on the envelope.

– Having an argument with the Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World and daring him to lay a hand on you.
