<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1920148, member: 41863&quot;]I get what you are saying about the amount of work, I truly do, but nothing you are writing is discouraging me from undertaking the task I am setting my mind to. When someone presents me with a scenario describing how tough its going to be, it just pushes me harder to complete what everyone is telling me I cant do. </p><p><br /></p><p>I still think your point is moot though. You know absolutely nothing about me, and the way that I operate or the things that I have been through. I also dont abide by statistics or get scared because only a certain percentage has managed to complete something. There is still that percentage that completed, and I like to think of myself as capable of doing whatever I set my mind to. </p><p><br /></p><p>I too have been through something that took more determination than what most people are willing to put forth, something that so completely changed my life that I dont understand why more people arent doing what I did. Alas, thats a story for another time though. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for my arrogant, cocky, strong-willed demeanor, its something I am working on, but at the same time, without my confidence that I have found, I wouldnt be able to accomplish half the things that I am able to do in my life. Its just my burden to bear, and my issue to overcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and you were wrong about the depth of my awareness with my arrogance. I am FULLY aware of that issue, its something I have been addressing for at least the last 4-5 years. Apparently its not getting any better (dont think its getting too much worse though).....oh well.......if my arrogance is the worst part of my character, then I will be just fine I think. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also want to turn the table a little bit, and this is to be sort of a butt hole, you keep telling me because you did all this work on your book that you know how hard of an undertaking it is. What if I said you were just inadequate and it took you longer or harder to work at something than other people? The point I am trying to make there, is without knowing anything about a person, other than what they choose to share on an open forum, what sense does it make to compare what you are capable of doing to what I am capable of doing? Neither one of us really knows the other, therefore that opinion is skewed. I get you have experience from doing it before and your words do hold plenty of wisdom on how <i>tough </i>of an undertaking this will be, but like I said, those things dont scare me, if anything it empowers me to do exactly what I said I was going to do. </p><p><br /></p><p>In all seriousness though, I actually do realize my arrogance is an issue, but its a fine line between&nbsp; presenting arrogance and presenting confidence, especially when we do not know one another other than through cyber space. I also have a pretty humble side too, you all just rarely ever get to see it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
