Winning through Belief in Yourself
Confidence breeds winning. But most of us can’t manufacture confidence ourselves. We need others to help us get there. Larry Thornton was a poor-performing high school student until his white English teacher Miss Nichols invited him into her home for lunch – a very rare event in the late 1960s – and told him he was college material. Once Larry believed in himself, he could act with confidence and success followed. That is the essence of Winning through Belief in Yourself. And once we have been successful, we need to act as mentors to help others believe in themselves too.
