azekeilIt is possibly a timely reminder that there is no big secret to existence. Anyone telling you otherwise is probably trying to sell you something.
There is no 'secret' to personal confidence. The trouble comes as a product of society, when one compares oneself to others. It's a result of the unspoken social pecking order.
Poker is a game that takes the essense of this and turns it into a game. The winner isn't the person with the strongest hand, it's the person with the most confidence.
The bugger is that it's rather difficult to break out of the self-evaluation though, because in order to be a part of society you have to play by the rules, or get branded an outcast.
