Some never get started on tasks or put off tasks because they realize their work can never be perfect. Accept that you are imperfect and be confident!

"Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever."
- Philip Andrew Adams

Conceited or confident?

From the song 'Don't Need You To Tell Me I'm Pretty' by Samantha Mumba:

I don't need you to
Tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful,
I don't need you to
Give me your strength to make me feel I'm strong.
I got all of this strength that I need here
inside my own two hands,
All that I want is your love and respect for who I am,
What I really need
Comes from deep inside of me.

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful,
Don't need you to make me strong 'cause I'm strong all on my own,
Doesn't come from outside
This beauty I know,
Comes from inside my soul.

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty.

From 'Beautiful' by Christina Aguilera:

I am beautiful no matter what they say,
Words can't bring me down.
I am beautiful in every single way,
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no,
So don't you bring me down today.

Maybe confidence made the difference......

From 'Homely Girl' by UB40:

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say,
you looked better in the dark.
But now they'd give all they learnt in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you.

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely,
You're a beautiful woman, oh yes you are.
Homely girl you used to be so lonely,
You're a beautiful woman, oh yeah.

- Joan Collins
