How much confidence do you have in yourself?

Do you have enough confidence to stand alone?

Larry H. Miller shared the following story in Driven, An Autobiography:

“One day in my second-grade class, my teacher, Miss Issacson, posed a math problem for her 30 students to work out on the blackboard. Row by row, we each walked to the board and wrote 5 + 0 = and filled in the answer. I was in the last row, and after completing the problem on the board I returned to my seat. But when I studied the blackboard, I noticed that I was the only kid in the class who had written “5” as the answer.Reasoning that the rest of the class couldn’t all be wrong, I returned to the blackboard and changed my answer to “0” and went back to my seat. “Why did you change your answer?” Miss Issacson asked. I explained, and then she revealed the answer.That day I learned that it is possible to be a small minority and still be right, and I learned the value of  having confidence in your own abilities.”

Success will not come without any risk. Sometimes that risk may be standing for what you believe while everyone around you is telling you that you’re wrong. 

When you’ve done your part to the best of your ability, trust your gut. 

“Sometimes everybody else is wrong.”
