Sometimes I might come off to some people as being arrogant, proud, self absorbed.
Unfortunately I don’t owe anyone an apology for their misconception of an ambitious
hardworking, individual. I always find myself repeating that am not jobless. I went to play Golf the other day the Korean women there were making fun of the fact that I don’t come
everyday. It is painful to because I couldn’t explain to them the difference between a hobby and a job, hobby is what you do at your leisure while job is what puts food on your table and clothes on your body. I didn’t tell them because they don’t understand English. I try to look at what is ambition and what is arrogance, because too many people confuse ambition with arrogance. The difference between ambition and arrogance are sometimes subtle, yet very important. Without looking carefully two of them can appear to be the same.

Ambition is…
Expecting the best of yourself
The desire to make a difference
Doing whatever it takes to accomplish what you know you deserve
Disciplined and assertive
Responsible and respectful
Ambition will fly you to the top

Arrogance is…
Believing you are better than others
The belief that you are indispensable
Thinking that the world owes something and you doing what you can to collect it.
Being Pushy
Destructive and disdainful.
Arrogance will drive to the ground.
I am driven by ambition and I will surely get to the top.
What about you?
