Confidence-driven decision-making: Peter Atwater at TEDxWilmington

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

"Just as being in motion is the test of life, so being stationary is the test of death and when a moving object stops it retrogrades. To stop means to fall. When a tree stops giving fruit it decays." ~ Baha'i Faith

approaching anything with confidence is the biggest mistake you will ever make. if you need confidence, that means that you do not see anything that is coming, you do not know anything and you are trying to cover it up with strentgh of emotion, and while you do that, you see less and less clearly, go further and further from reality. what you trully need is not confidence, it is clarity of percpetion, this is all that matters, because only what you cN percieve you know, and only on what you know you can deicide. lack of confidence is not good also, but it is still better then confidence, because at least you do not take any action usually and you do not do damage anywhere. an exemple of confident driven decisions in this world are the religious dacision taking people, lets say for exemple the muslim extremists, they do not know anything, but they have absolute confidence, and look at the consequences of their decisions on the world but most importantly on themselfs, their decisions are not even conductive for themselfs.
