Confidence, like art, never comes from having all the answers; it comes from being open to all the questions.
Earl Gray Stevens(gratefulness.org)
I like this definition of confidence. If one is going around with an open mind, open heart, then one does not become defensive at another's different beliefs, different attitude. It is like the difference between reacting and responding. When one is not open, then one becomes defensive and reacts. On the other hand, if one is open "to all the questions", there is listening, wondering and then responding in a thoughtful manner. After all, it is our responsibility to have the ability to respond.
