On Confidence

Rav Chaim Brisker once said, “Why are the wicked successful and the righteous not?   Because the wicked pursue evil with   a true effort, and the righteous pursue truth with a false effort.” What could the famous rabbi mean?   Perhaps he understood that evil does not look sideways to determine if it is on the correct path.   It forges ahead because it knows it is right.   The righteous, on the other hand, are always full of self-doubt.
