Quote by Stan Smith

Experience tells you what to do; confidence allows you to do it.

Experience tells you what to do; confidence allows you to do

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that knowledge or past experiences can guide us in knowing what action to take in a given situation. However, it emphasizes the importance of confidence in actually carrying out that action. While experience alone can provide insight, having confidence in oneself and one's abilities is necessary to confidently apply that knowledge and take the required action. In other words, experience lays the foundation, but confidence is what empowers us to act upon that foundation.
