Lots of successful people. One thing in common between them, that I noticed, is that to a man, they are all confident. Odd, my confidence is referred to as being cocky, and the other two qualities you mentioned just seem to piss people off... ;) (I suppose that's why they all hang out together, birds of a feather and all.) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Lots of successful people. One thing in common between them, that I noticed, is that to a man, they are all confident. It depends on the attitude involved with the confidence. One can be confident in one's abilities without being a complete jackass ( cocky ) about it. Air Cold, the blade stops; from silent stone, Death is preordained Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome |

I've always maintained that, so long as you aim for excellence in whatever you do, you cannot go wrong. Any progress is a success. I was told one of those self-improvement mantras years ago: Success is the gradual realisation of a series of pre-determined goals ie: Know what you want to achieve and how to get there; and go for it, one step at a time. |

I am a table games dealer supervisor at a casino (sometimes called the "pit boss"). Do you know how to kill someone with your pinky finger? |

I am a table games dealer supervisor at a casino (sometimes called the "pit boss"). Which means now instead of standing around and playing cards for a living I stand around and watch other people play cards for a living. If River Rock, I've likely paid part of your salary, :-\\ |
