Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right. - Henry Ford
It’s amazing how much your attitude can affect the outcome of something. You’ve seen those people with tons of confidence and a history of winning. Do you think that they got the confidence first or the winning? For a rare few, they won, were right, got ahead, or whatever first, and then gained the confidence afterwards. Most of the “winners”, though, were confident that they would be right, would win, would get ahead, and then went out and did it.
Your attitude is driven by your thoughts, and you can control them. Just as you can psych yourself out of something, you can psych yourself into something. You can be a winner, an achiever, a doer, someone others look at and say “Wow, how did that happen? How did you do that?” And when they do, just smile and say, “Attitude and confidence,” and go on to create and inspire some more.

I like this optimistic view. I would add, however, that being optimistic does not guarantee one will succeed. In a race of 10 optimists, only one will win. That said, I do agree that it's generally the optimists who will win, if only because they will try. Most ventures require great effort to learn, practice, gain expertise. The optimist is the one who works at it. Or, as they say, those who work hard at something tend to be more "lucky" with it.
