“Your perception of yourself has an enormous impact on how others perceive you.” – Erin Falconer of Pick the Brain.
I believe the best way to build self confidence is by broadening your life experiences. When you work hard to increase your knowledge, skills and experiences, you’ll automatically become a confident person.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. ~Anaïs Nin, Diary, 1969
As you constantly increasing your exposure to life, you’ll build your confidence in mastering or doing anything.
Confidence is something that you have to workout like a muscle.
You can’t be confident at everything. We all lack confidence in some areas of life that we are not familiar with.

Robin Good: Kullect is a mobile publishing tool that allows you to capture, organize and share "collections" about things that interest and inspire you.
Kullect is also an interest-based social network which allows you to discover and connect with people who have your same interests or in partcular with those who are nearby.
From Xconomy: "Open up any of today’s top mobile media-sharing networks on your smartphone—like Instagram or Picplz for photos, Klip for videos, or Path for group sharing—and what you see is a random stream of disconnected items, stretching infinitely from today into last week, last month, and last year.
Each individual item in a stream may represent somebody’s special moment or act of curation, but there are no mechanisms within these platforms for ordering things or imposing a theme.
No pattern emerges. It’s just one damn thing after another.
Which is a little too much like real life, if you ask me. What’s missing is a sense of context.
I’d get a lot more out these apps if I understood why people share the things they do, or how they fit into a larger story.
That’s the whole point of Kullect.
As the name suggests, the app is all about building collections [which are like] extended, multimedia blog posts.
...
You can have as many collections as you want, and a collection can have any theme you want—I’ve seen Kullect users posting pictures from trips they’re taking, lists of their favorite bars or clubs, and varieties of roses in their gardens.
But whatever the theme, a collection amounts to a kind of story about what you’re doing or what you’re passionate about."

Robin Good: NotesCloud is a new curation service which allows you to collect, organize, and share any type of content you have into beautiful magazine-like layouts. “Imagine a tool that is always at hand when you stumble upon or dream up something interesting,” NotesCloud uses the metaphor of a multi-section notebook to organize snippets and notes. People can create their own hierarchies of notebooks, sections, and pages as they curate their topics. Unlike Pinterest or Evernote, NotesCloud’s structured storage metaphor encourages some organization, so it’s not just a “shoebox” full of random clippings." (Source: Venturebeat) Notescloud is equipped with a set of browser-based clipping tools for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, that make it possible to easily grab and save any content you’re looking at online with just two clicks. The content curated and organized with NotesCloud can be accessed from tablets and smartphones as well as desktop browsers. Free to use.
