Genuine achievement gives you a sense that you can do stuff. And genuine failure gives you a sense that you can survive being imperfect.

Esther Dyson

Everybody should have a real failure, ideally when they are pretty young, that gives them a sense of confidence. I think that was one of Steve Jobs's problems. He was successful for way too long before it finally hit him. There's nothing to build confidence like real achievement, but also like real failure.
