The core skills of Frank Abagnale so successful (transferred from foreign websites)

I think it makes a lot of sense, so I will attach it to everyone (LZ is too lazy to translate it for the time being...)
All in all, you have to be confident, have the guts, and don't change your face and heart when you fool...

Frank had the confidence to be anybody he wanted to be

Frank had the confidence to be a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. He had a gift at a young age to be charming and romantic with everybody he met.

People wanted to be around him. They wanted to believe him. He created a fantasy life for himself. And from the outside it appeared he was the happiest person in the world.

What gave Frank the ability to succeed was his confidence.

Everyone who want success needs to have the self confidence to say and write about what they 're passionate about. Not everybody is going to like you, but if you have self confidence people will be able to tell and they'll be drawn to you.

They'll believe in what you're saying and writing.

You don't have to trick people into believing you're something you're not.

Be yourself.

You are charming and interesting.

Catch Me If You Can quotes

  • Assistant Director Marsh: [Carl and Mr. Marsh are visiting Frank in prison; Carl hopes to convince the FBI to let Frank out of prison] I'd like for you to take a look at something, tell me what you think.

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: [Marsh hands Frank a fake check as Carl looks on] It's a fake.

    Assistant Director Marsh: How do you know? You haven't looked at it.

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: There's no perforated edge, right? This check was hand-cut, not fed. The paper's double-bonded, much too heavy to be a bank check. Magnetic ink, it's raised against my fingers, not flat. This doesn't smell like MICR, it's some kind of, uh, some kind of drafting ink. The kind you get at a stationery store.

    Assistant Director Marsh: Frank, would you be interested in working for the FBI's Financial Crimes Unit?

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: I've already got a job here, you know. I, uh, deliver the mail.

    Assistant Director Marsh: Frank, we have the power to take you out of prison. You'd be placed in the custody of the FBI where you'd serve out the remainder of your sentence as an employee of the Federal Government.

    Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Under whose custody?

    [Carl raises his hand]

  • Kid: More coffee, sir?

    [notices paperwork]

    Kid: Are you a collector?

    Carl Hanratty: Of what?

    Kid: Captives of the Cosmic Ray, The Big Freeze, Land of the Golden Giants. I've got em all.

    Carl Hanratty: What are you talking about?

    Kid: Barry Allen. The Flash.

    [walks away]

    Carl Hanratty: Wait, kid, kid, kid. You mean like the comic book?

    Kid: Yeah, the comic book. When he's not The Flash. That's his name, Barry Allen.

    Carl Hanratty: Thank you.

    [cut to Carl using a payphone]

    Carl Hanratty: Now get this: he reads comic books. Comic books! Barry Allen is The Flash!

    Tom Fox: Carl, slow down, slow down. I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

    Carl Hanratty: He's a kid. Our unsub is a kid. That's why we couldn't match his prints. That's why he doesn't have a record. Now, I want you to contact the NYPD for every all-points juvenile runaways in New York City. And don't forget the airports. He's been kiting checks all over the country.

    Tom Fox: But why New York?

    Carl Hanratty: The Yankees! He said something about the Yankees!
