By the way, I also added this to what I wrote, because I was not confident about it ...
It is pointing to something much bigger ... boundless, in fact ... beyond the question of whether our little day to day ego feels good about itself or not. Thus Is Buddha! High, beyond small human judgments of high or low. So, the focus is not really the lack of confidence of our little self, but to get past the little self completely. Then, one finds a Big C Confidence in all Reality which transcends and is right at the heart of all little "confidence or no confidence, gain or lack, win or lose."
