CONFIDENCE
CONFIDENCE
Confidence is a major part of any endeavor, maybe the major part. Undermining that self-confidence that lies latent in one's adversary or opponent is integral to victory.
Of course your enemy perfectly understands this strategy very well and is assiduously seeking to do the same thing to you in turn, by any means necessary, even by boasting, mockery, lampooning !
Confidence is neither rashness nor foolhardiness. It is, rather, the fruit of preparation and experience .
Such confidence was displayed by young David, who already having slain both a bear and a lion, while defending his father's flock, had no fear of the giant Philistine Goliath, who mocked Israel's army.
