"Professor Raj Persaud says that true self confidence comes from an
attitude where you "promise yourself, no matter how difficult the
problem life throws at you, that you will try as hard as you can to
help yourself. You acknowledge that sometimes your efforts to help
yourself may not result in success, as often being properly rewarded
is not in your control."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-confidence
"The socio-psychological concept of self-confidence relates to self-
assuredness in one's personal judgment, ability, power, etc.,
sometimes manifested excessively.
Compare:
confidence (often equivalent to self-confidence)
hubris (excessive self-confidence)
self-esteem (conceit, or favourable opinion of oneself, or self-
acceptance).
Lack of self-confidence is called timidness or timidity. Being afraid
of failure is a sign of this."

A reasonable attempt for a professor, who sounds like his efforts were
spurred on by the promise of 'proper reward'.
No need for promises or apologies when you know there is no such
reality as success or failure, and the only point of control is that
of response In fact, the reward 'is' the response.

Once the word 'true' is applied reason can quickly become belief.
