Quote preview background for Mindy Kaling
People talk about confidence without ever bringing up hard work. That__ a mistake. I know I sound like some dour older spinster on Downton Abbey who has never felt a man__ touch and whose heart has turned to stone, but I don__ understand how you could have self-confidence if you don__ do the work... I have never, ever, ever, met a high confident person and successful person who is not what a movie would call a 'workaholic.' Because confidence is like respect; you have to earn it.
