Mark Twain

All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.

I absolutely love this quote for two reasons. I'm ignorant. And I'm confident. Well, usually. When Twain says to be ignorant, he means to not let logic get in the way of what you want. Rarely do I use logic when I want something. I listen to my heart instead. When you have confidence, you have conviction in what you're doing. When you are confident it is easier to succeed than when you aren't. So if you want something, forget the logic and think you can do it. It usually works.
