Arrogance

Whenever I'm arrogant, it's for a perfectly good reason. But I'm not all that often.

I was afflicted with a huge ego as a child, cocky and conceited - it was only after someone did me the favour of slapping me upside my head, that I calmed down and adjusted myself a little. People tell me I have potential and ambition, but I just take it in my stride with a " thank you " and don't allow it to go to my head. Otherwise I'm confident without being overly self-assured, proud without being overly proud.
