50 Traits of a Confident Person

There have been many assumptions that what does a confident person look like ? Some say it is the money they make, some say it is the knowledge they hold in their heads and others say it is the attitude of never giving up that defines them as “confident”. The answer to all of such guesses lies in the fact that none of them fit the bill by themselves alone. Today we can hardly notice a true human being who has ever loved others deeply or cared for the needy.

So, here is a list about 50 traits that every good human being must possess to be a contributing and a confident person living in this era. This list is originally prepared by Nick Notas. (Link given at the end of this article)

 I know we all lack in some areas, but progress first starts within than without. So please look into them as both, a testing material and a learning material, so that you could make your internal constructions rock solid, that no outer force could break you. So, let’s get right into it.

I couldn’t change the magic and simplicity his words are reflecting. That’s why posted them as it is for all of you.
