Inspirational Quotes

With success my confidence soars.
"If the wind will not serve, take the oars" 
My inner self whispers to me, 
Take control with effort to make it be.

To score a goal, first taking a shot is a must,
To be appreciated, remain steadfast to gain trust.
 Aim to do a little better than you did yesterday.
"Always under promise and over deliver" I say.

If there is two things you should not miss:
Just Keep it simple KIS.
"Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it." 
“With confidence let success be vengeance for all that happened and renew it.”

This is lovely nugget of inspiration Speaks Volumes, how we can work towards success without burning ourselves out or putting ourselves under too much pressure. I like your phrase, "always under promise and over deliver".. I believe following this advice leaves room to grow in confidence, because one won't be disappointed at what one has achieved. I also like the KIS abbreviation. Your final words "let success be vengeance for all that happened and renew it" shows how success can bring justice for us against negative experiences. Thank you for your inspiration in the contest ☺️😉
