[Pic] The Self-Confidence Manifesto
PE reader Lenin requested for a manifesto on self-confidence, and I thought – “Hey, why not? That’s a great idea!”
So here we have it – The Self-Confidence Manifesto. 
Great to remind us that at the end of the day, confidence really just begins on the inside:

Ask Celes – How Do You Keep Yourself Humble While Recognizing Your Worth?
This is part of the Ask Celes series, where readers were invited to ask me anything they want. The section is now over but you can read all Q&As here: Ask Celes Section.
Hey, Celes! Here’s what I want to know: How do you keep yourself humble whilst recognizing your own worth and potential? – Krys
Hi Krys! That’s an interesting question. The assumption behind the question seems to be that recognizing one’s own worth is at odds with being humble.
In reality, they aren’t at odds with one another. They are very much in line with one another.
This reminds me of a common myth people have about arrogance and confidence. Before I started my Europe travels, I was conducting career workshops with JobsCentral for a year. One of the most popular workshops I ran was on how to ace interviews. During the workshop, I would teach participants on the 3 C’s and 1 P to acing their interviews, of which one of the C is Confidence.

Hence, I say yes where I can, and say no as less often as possible.
Realities of NOT Saying No
While saying yes seems like an easy answer for the reasons above, it’s not necessary the best answer all the time.
Just like saying no has its implications, NOT saying no *has* implications too. Every time we say yes to something, we’re actually saying no to something else. Think about it:
- When you say yes to something you don’t enjoy, you say no to things that you love
- When you say yes to a job you don’t love, you say no to your dreams
- When you say yes to someone you don’t like, you say no to a fulfilling relationship
- When you say yes to working overtime, you say no to your social life
- When you say yes to Quadrant 3/4 tasks, you say…
