There's a subtle caveat here: true confidence is earned, not fabricated. If you try to bullshit your way through life you'll lose credibility and rarely be given the chance to get far.
I think your advice is most valuable to people who constantly underestimate themselves. I've worked around extremely capable people who do this, and it's frustrating to see how little they achieve because of it.
- djloche 12y agoThe best is someone that knows exactly how capable they are in the moment - and how to reach beyond that when needed.

You still have to eventually "make it" though otherwise you will run up against someone who has made it and they will see right through your faking.
