Of course, self-belief is more than just common advice. It's at the heart of selling, of creating, of shipping, of leadership...
Telling someone, "believe in yourself," is often worthless, though, because it's easier said than done.
Perhaps the alternative is: "Do work you can believe in."
Not trust, verification. Not believing that one day you'll do worthwhile work. Instead, do worthwhile work, look at it, then believe that you can do it again.
Step by step, small to large, easy to difficult.
Do work you can believe in.

Lesson of the day: Political Metamorphosis Posted: 18 Jul 2015 01:47 PM PDT Fourth Greek Election Since 2012 Coming Up? It appears that way. Now that the vote for servitude is a done deal, the ensuing Greek Reshuffle Hints at Autumn Election. Alexis Tsipras, Greece's prime minister, appears to be preparing the nation for a snap general election in September or October after carrying out a government reshuffle that removed dissident ministers from his radical leftist Syriza party.Metamorphosis of Syriza The metamorphosis of the radical-left Syriza caterpillar Alexis Tsipras into a center-right butterfly is nearly complete. Tsipras has become a clone of prior Greek prime minister Antonis Samaras, the center-right New Democracy leader he vehemently denounced only six months ago. Please note that the entirety of the change came between the Overwhelming No Vote in the July 5 yes-no Greek referendum, and Tsipras' Breathtaking Political Transformation on July 13. In the process, we have learned an important lesson: Complete political metamorphosis of every key position takes no more than eight days, a new world record. Butterfly Runs for Office The switch from radical-left caterpillar to center-right butterfly required a complete sacking of Tsipras' cabinet, and new elections as well. In the upcoming election it will be the "butterfly candidate" running for office, not the "radical-left caterpillar". Curiously, had Tsipras run on a butterfly platform in the last election, he would have lost. This brings us to another important lesson. Lesson Number Two Timing of political metamorphosis is crucial. With incorrect timing, you turn into a toad or a goat, not a butterfly.

That's a pretty bad answer to a series of common questions.
Why is the format of the board meeting like this? Why do we always structure our annual conference like this? Why is this our policy? Why do we let him decide these issues? Why is this the price?
The real answer is, "Because if someone changes it, that someone will be responsible for what happens."
Are you okay with that being the reason things are the way they are?
