Confidence-A quiet knowing

A quality that we all want and need to succeed. To play at a high level in chess this is one quality we cannot do without.

Consider this. Can you be confident if you cannot get results? Say you are presented with a problem and time and time again you cannot come to a solution, would that ebb your confidence? So how would you arrive at results? A quiet knowing. Can we say that since knowing is a part of confidence that confidence itself is a subset, a byproduct, of learning?

How does learning work?

It starts when we have identified ALL the variables that affect outcome. But this is not as simple as it looks. Next posting.

  1. R,
    Your blog is getting more and more complicated yet vague.. appreciate it if you can provide examples too (application in real life), so that we can understand you better.. Thanks.

  2. Will try to give more examples. But first try and think this through. To succeed or get results you first have to consider everything that affects outcome. Not only the things you find convenient. Many times we avoid the things we need to think about because it causes us discomfort. That is the beginning of the problem. I have noticed that you do that. Go back and look at the postings that cause you discomfort and read that. Then you are learning. Good luck.
