 ignore the smallness of the cynics... encourage... be encouraged ... become what you have dreamed of “Instruction does much, but encouragement everything." ―Johann Wolfgang von Goethe  “Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.” ―Ralph Waldo Emerson  "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." -Mark Twain

 confident and assertive... or... arrogant and obnoxious? I often hear people referring to themselves as "strong" or "assertive" or "confident" or "honest", when in reality, they are actually arrogant, obnoxious, and rude... there is a huge difference. "There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. This is especially true given both entail a strong belief in one's own abilities. When it comes to the responses they provoke, however, that's where the similarities end. Confidence is inspiring; arrogance is a turn-off. Confidence gets hired; arrogance is shown the door. Building confidence takes work; arrogance is simple. In fact, it's easy to come off as arrogant." -The Ladders source:The Ladders - 10 Ways to Tell if You're Confident – or Arrogant http://bit.ly/Kd5Xle |
