It's a dangerous person to be around. And you mentioned, we both mentioned self-awareness. I would argue, and you mentioned the word ego. I would argue that self-awareness is a subset ingredient of humility and humility for most of us. probably all requires time, requires maturity for you to recognize the value of it and then couple that with the confidence to then be able to deploy it.

And those two things work very powerful hand in hand that as I'm advising newer commanders that I work alongside of, as a warrant officer, that one-two punch combo is one that I typically focus on most of the time. Certainly with like younger, like captains and like junior officers.

It's like, if you can get on this trajectory of wielding those two things simultaneously, you're on amazing trajectory. Kind of the ironic part about it is many people misassume or miscorrelate humility with insecurity. Meaning if I display humility, that's going to be seen as me being weak and I can't have that. Where in fact, those are two entirely separate things. Yeah, I agree.

When you can have a degree of confidence, authentic confidence, which you and I would probably agree is earned, it's evidence-based over a undeniable track record of developing skill and the ability to do hot shit consistently, authentic confidence is earned, that then can enable us to deploy that humility. Because I know I'm good. I know I'm capable. I don't need to...

tell people that I eat cockiness because it's real, because I've earned it. Now I can deploy that humility, which can suppress the ego and can allow the things to happen that we just discussed. But it does take time. It takes a minute. It took a while for me to get there as a brand new team guy. Man, I was just like what you just said. I'm like,

I was John Rambo reincarnated when I graduated the Q course. And I got that little green hat on my head. And I'm like, all I need, guys, is a ride. And I'm going to fix this whole GWAT problem myself. Beyond confident, almost full-blown arrogance. And it took me a minute to kind of start to realize that humility is a bit of a superpower.

And those that are at the absolute best of their game absolutely have it and deploy it almost automatedly. I need to be more like that. I have a lot to learn, a lot to figure out. And there comes the honesty, the self-awareness, the gratitude, and some of those other elements of humility.

Yeah, there was an interesting... ongoing discussion about that exact thing. Once it became more and more of a trend and in those pockets of the world, while technology exists, you know, to a degree, it's mostly word of mouth as that spreads, but it moves fast. Like that line of communication can move fast because they've really mastered it over, you know, millennia in that area specifically.
