Dear Madam,
It is on a few occasions only that I like and incline to participate in or reply to some posts or discussions in the forum.
The individuals, being a bundle of emotional feelings—anger, happiness, and sadness—are controlled by these very emotions. No one is an exception to the application of these feelings in daily lives. An excess dosage of any of these basic emotions displayed by us in any situation will gradually or quickly empty our common sense. The excess display of this disturbs one's normal self, and it takes effort and time to return to a normal state. Similarly, arrogance is an extension of our ego or our own reasoning for a cause known to the individual only. What is a simple application of reasoning or logic is downright arrogance to someone. On the other hand, in our mind chemistry, anything in excess, including confidence, is not good for oneself and for society, which is a group of individuals.
Confidence is the ability to apply known capabilities for a positive outcome. Again, this is a relative term because it is subject to situations and individuals' profiles or lifestyles. Overconfidence leads to many negative effects in any walk of life. Arrogance is a reflection of our rigid stance under any situation without giving leverage to the pros and cons of our analysis or judgment. Simply put, it boils down to adaptability to people and situations.
Successful people, whether in personal or career life, have this adaptability to maneuver through rough situations and deal with people. Many top leaders have failed successfully because of a lack of this single most important attribute.
This applies to more youngsters because, obviously, they have not yet experienced many situations and interactions. Success misleads them. Success is often taken for granted. It is merely a milestone, and in the journey of life, there are many milestones, ups and downs, terrains, roadblocks, surprises. Success and failures—only failures—mold us to face life.
Best wishes and have a good day.
