[ Positive Outcomes ]

“One of your primary assets in life, is a feeling of confidence.”  This statement is not from a self-help book, nor is it from a motivational speaker.  It’s the first sentence in the chapter “Approach the job with confidence”, from a 2007 book “Project Engineering: The Essential Toolbox for Young Engineers”.  Even project engineers need confidence to do a good job.

It goes on to say, more eloquently, that “if you expect a positive outcome, your intentions will bring energy and add reality to successfully achieving that outcome.” 

I like that frame: it’s a little more tangible than “be confident”.
