It sounds silly, but hear me out.

Oh, very cool.

So Dale Carnegie famously wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People.

He was actually more famous originally because he created the Dale Carnegie speaking program.

And so they had locations all over the country and hundreds of thousands of people went through his programs.

And he even taught.

He was a Dale Carnegie instructor.

And there's this amazing quote.

And so basically, Dale Carnegie, one of his premises is that public speaking, he calls it the royal road to self-confidence.

He says, if you want to be a more confident person, you should actually learn how to public speak.

Because when you control the minds of many men, you control yourself, you know, it makes you more confident.

And one of his axioms or whatever for how you get better is you have to envision the end goal.

And he has this amazing quote from William James, where it's like the godfathers of modern psychology.

And there's an amazing quote of William James.

He says, in almost any subject, your passion for the subject will save you.

If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.

If you wish to be good, you will be good.

If you wish to be rich, you will be rich.

If you wish to be learned, you will be learned.

Only then you must really wish these things and wish them with exclusiveness and not wish 100 other incompatible things just as strongly.
