The crucial difference between confidence and arrogance is intent

Self-confidence is a fantastic asset… but such as intelligence… or wealth… it has to be used with discretion and tact… if you try to impress people on how self-confident… or intelligent… or wealthy you are… it will come off as arrogance… however, if you use those great gifts to uplift people around you… they will love you for it…

If you want to be loved and accepted… make people feel good about who they are… and you can’t miss… however, if you try to show people how good you are… you have the perfect recipe for disaster…

Don’t ever forget… when I meet you… I don’t want to know how big you are… I want to know how big I am… and… if you can make this happen for me… I’ll be your buddy for life…
