Self-esteem is reliance on one's power to think. it cannot be replaced by one's power to deceive. the self-confidence of a scientist and the self-confidence of a con man are not interchangeable states, and do not come from the same psychological universe. the success of a man who deals with reality augments his self-confidence. the success of a con man augments his panic.
