Confidence is key to success, if you believe that you cannot, you will not. If you believe you can, you will. For example in the novel “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, Father is a successful member in the community. Father explains to his son Jonas reflecting on his past ceremony on twelve, he “Was pleased, but not at all surprised.” Since Father worked hard and looked forward to his future, he was not very surprised when he got his assignment in the community. I can relate because I play football. I was on the ‘B Team’, which is not the best place I would of liked to be, but I knew that if I worked hard I would be on the more honored ‘A Team’. Like I said before, if you look forward to the future and put forth effort, you will succeed. Hard work pays
