Self-Confidence :  Self-Confidence is the belief in one's ability to accomplish tasks.  An individual relies solely on his or her strength to successfully complete an activity without recourse to external influences. Decisiveness :   Decisiveness involves the ability to take decisions promptly and permanently, without resort to procrastination or contemplation. An individual does not reverse his or her decisions once taken. Donate
