Some of the most arrogant people I know reject the notion that they are gifted (as in, born lucky) in favor of the idea that they just work hard and anybody else could do the same but everyone else is too lazy. I think there are some definite positives in recognising the advantages you were born with.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoYou can always be arrogant if you try hard enough. But not being arrogant is far harder. Personally, I believe that I might have had a bit of an advantage in some fields. Not because I'm necessarily better, but because my approach functions better in that area. But most people can do the same thing if they wanted to. It's merely that everybody has a limited amount of focus, and most people choose to spend it differently. Looking down on them is unproductive, and also incorrect: they're probably experts in something you don't know anything about.
