The Difference Between Arrogance and Confidence

Arrogance says, "I'm better than you." Confidence says, "There's room for both of our strengths. You have yours, and I have mine."

Arrogance pushes others out of the way. Confidence pulls others along with it.

Arrogance brags, possibly about things it has no right to brag about. Confidence tells the truth, optimistically.

Arrogance says "I will," when it knows it probably won't. Confidence says, "I can," then it finds a way.

Arrogance (also called by it's other name, "Pride") is the cause of most failed dreams, organizations and teams. Confidence is the catapult that propels a dreamer over a wall of impossibility.

A leader should never be arrogant. A leader should be confident in his vision, but willing to listen to his team members, and open to the possibility that he can be wrong.

Arrogance and love can never co-exist. Confidence and love are soulmates.

Be confident in everything you do today. Be arrogant in nothing.
