education. knowledge is power. confidence comes from power. you feel confident when you are in a stong position, so the more you know the easier it will be for you to create a position of strength, and thus your self confidence will grow. . . education does not necessarily mean becoming a rocket scientist, perhaps you're a good skater, but you can still LEARN new tricks or skills. whenever you do anything, do your best and enjoy it, and you will learn something, and so you will become powerful, and self confident.
