Episode 3051: Discover the profound insights on confidence versus arrogance as we explore an encounter at the Getty Museum. The story contrasts a self-assured Japanese cowboy, embodying genuine confidence, with an arrogant American tourist, revealing how true confidence shines through in demeanor and humility, while arrogance crumbles under scrutiny. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.theminimalists.com/confidence/ & http://www.theminimalists.com/question/ Quotes to ponder: "Confidence holds up under scrutiny, whereas arrogance fractures with the slightest crack." "I knew that my younger self - although proud of the money and ostensible success of the corporate world—wouldn’t approve of what I’d become."
