Confidence

It just struck me that confidence is nothing but a positive feeling about one's own ability vis-a-vis the future. Diffidence is the same forward-looking feeling, but negative. And since the only thing that is in our control (to whatever extent) is the present, then both these feelings don't make too much sense, do they?

Or am I just going wrong somewhere?

    hiya,
    I think unless you have either of these feelings,positive or negative,one would just drift on very aimlessly...

    I guess its like saying someone has a "black tongue".A person with a black tongue is probably more intuitive than others & can foresee what others dont.

    Dont know if that made sense...
