Confidence is what you have when you're attempting something you know you can do. Which is something you shouldn't bother doing.

Achievement worthy of respect only comes from constantly attempting things so difficult that there's a large chance of failure.

Arrogance is the belief that you merit admiration even when your achievements are meager, and your appetite for risk is slight.

Arrogance depends on ignorance: the standard of excellence set by the very best is so high that it humbles all who aspire to it.

What is admirable, in the end, is not achievement, but the courage to suffer failure. To strive one's utmost, and come up short.

Commitment to the struggle for its own sake is what wins you the admiration of those whose admiration is most worth winning.
