Where is the line between confidence and arrogance?

One person’s boast is another person’s dream.

Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs.

And afterwards be incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work side by side with them because you got to experience something incredible?

And then sometime much later you get a second chance to do it again?

And realize much to your surprise, you are so capable that you actually surprised yourself with how amazingly solid you were the second time around?
