Winning is often the result of persistence, of not giving up when your goal appears to be in jeopardy. "When you adopt the attitude that if you do something it will make a difference, that"s confidence," Rosabeth Moss Kanter, author of the bestselling book Confidence says. "Look at your situation and think of yourself as being in the middle of it. The story is rarely over, even when the great majority think it is—something every sports fan knows."
Kicker Adam Vinatieri helped the New England Patriots football team defeat the Miami Dolphins 27—24 on December 29, 2002, when he kicked a 42-yard field goal in the final seconds, after many spectators had already got up from their seats to make their way out of the stadium. This event got fans saying, "It"s not over until Vinatieri kicks." Sure enough, in the 2004 Super Bowl, Vinatieri kicked the game-winning points for the Patriots in the final few seconds.
Certainly, there will still be moments and situations that just aren"t going to go your way, and this is the time when confidence needs to be tempered by realism. If you believe in yourself so strongly that you act rashly, confidence can actually make you "stupid".
So handle it with care—and use your confidence wisely.

A huge proportion of the Iranian budget is spent on subsidizing a wide range of goods for Iranian consumers from food to refined petroleum. President Ahmadinejad has been pro posing a big cut in that subsidy. His argument is that it should be replaced with cash handouts to the most needy. But the Iranian parliament is worried that Mr Ahmadinejad s proposal could increase inflation to an annual figure of up to 50%. So members of parliament have halved the proposed cuts. There s concern that a dramatic rise in prices could provoke a new round of unrest and perhaps lead the poorer classes to give more active support to the opposition. There re also suspicions that the real motive for the subsidy cut is to make up for a budget shortfall. Clear figures are hard to get hold of, but it seems that Mr Ahmadinejad s government failed to build up any substantial cash reserves when oil prices were at record levels. For years Iranians have been suffering multiple economic problems including inflation at or above 2%. Blame is placed either on Mr Ahmadinejad s eccentric management of Iran s finances or on international sanctions or a combination of both. With new sanctions actively under discussion, the situation is not about to get any easier.

Some small traders worry that eBay has lost interest in them. They say it s increasingly focused on winning business from large retailers instead. In this six to seven years I ve been doing it, I have seen it changed quite a lot as well. It has gone from kind of embracing the smaller sellers to now embracing the larger companies. They are making themselves into more of a marketplace, almost like Amazon. It seems that if what they re going for, they re looking to make eBay into this marketplace of major retailers and big sellers. And this has kind of squeezed on small people because when people search, the smaller sellers tend to come up lesser in the ratings or lower in the ratings, so they are harder to find their items. And so eBay has changed into more of a corporation as opposed to the small company. EBay is now pursuing new business models. It s also facing a radical shift in the way people use its services. It s started out as a pure auction site, but now most transactions are done at a fixed price which makes eBay more similar to other online retailers. Some say it s merely adapting to changed market conditions. Others worry that eBay is in danger of losing its soul.
