New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life” (Garvey, Philosophy and Opinions 72). Elder Samuel reminds us that confidence grows through discipline. Frederick Douglass taught himself to read when the world insisted that knowledge would make him “unfit to be a slave.” Freedom demands hunger. It demands work. It refuses wishy washy effort.

What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life”? He meant that confidence sets the conditions for any struggle you enter.
