Charisma and self-confidence: how it works by Joseph Gatt
A lot of the theory you’ll read out there goes: charisma and self-confidence are built by controlling your emotions and leading a healthy lifestyle. And lots of introspection.
Truth of the matter is, I see things differently. Simply put, I would tend to think that the more people you know, the more people you know at the deeper level, and the more stuff you can discuss with that crowd, the more likely you’ll naturally be charismatic and self-confident.
So, the recipe goes like this. Charisma and self-confidence are not gained overnight, but built over several years. You get a job, join different social circles, get to know people at the job and at the social circles. The more people you know, the more stuff you know, the more comfortable you’ll tend to be.
Charisma and self-confidence is also gained through trial and error. You could end up at the wrong conference, at the wrong job, or at the wrong social event. Happens all the time. And those one-time events could break your self-confidence, which is why it’s a good idea to have a crowd you can rely on in the long run.
Let’s just use this as an example. In 2013 and 2014 I had an active social life, which is really where I went through the trial and error phase of socializing and gaining self-confidence. So I’ll use a few personal examples.

Jacques Maritain (18 November 1882 -23 April 1973) World Citizen Philosopher by Rene Wadlow
Jacques Maritain was a French intellectual who spent the years of World War Two in Princeton in the U.S.A. He was a friend of the anti-Nazi German author Thomas Mann who also lived in Princeton. Both men were among the active advocates of world citizenship. When Thomas Mann’s daughter, Elizabeth Mann Borgese was editing the world citizen journal Common Cause from the University of Chicago in the 1947-1950 period, Jacques Maritain wrote a number of articles for the journal along the lines of his thinking set out in his Man and the State.
At the time that he was writing for Common Cause he was the Ambassador of France to the Vatican, having been named ambassador by Charles De Gaulle from 1945 to 1948. Maritain had supported De Gaulle during the war when many French Catholics had sided with the Vichy government or were silent.

Three poetic thoughts by George Kalatzis all in Greek
Παίρνω μια ιδέα από το μέλλον.
Άδειες μορφές στο μέσον μιας παρατημένης υπαίθρου.
Φορέματα φτιαγμένα από σκέψεις.
