Quotation One


Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.
-Joe Paterno


-In my opinion, the quote by Joe Paterno suggests that you need confidence to unlocking all of life's problems. In the quote I believe Joe is referring to that Pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind can only take you so far in life but the true quality you need to be successful is confidence.
This quote states that life is always going to throw obstacles in your way, its how you react to these obstacles that determines the amount of confidence within you. Weather its power through them or going around them confidence is the link in doing so.
  Joe Paterno was a American football coach from 1996 to 2011. He coached Penn state and holds the record for most wins in a NCAA division. I believe under the circumstances of  feeling pressured before a football game Joe spoke out and expressed to his team that confidence is key to winning all game. 
  This quote is significant to my theme of confidence because it shows that confidence can help you achieve your goals. This quote explains that their always going to be obstacles in your way, no matter who you are or what you do you have to find the confidence within you to hurdle over these obstacles and find away to achieve your goal. Weather your goal is scoring that overtime goal in the Stanley cup finals or passing high school, "Confidence is key"...
