Had an interesting conversation yesterday with Kayla at the Avenue. Me and Tommy Gun were talking about why he didn't like Kobe Bryant. Basically, he thought Kobe was arrogant. So I asked him what the difference was between arrogance and confidence? He walked away, not because of my question but because he's a bartender and he's at work so he had to work. So I asked Kayla, who is a waitress but wasn't particularly busy at the time. She said she needed to think about it but while she was gone I thought about how often age plays a factor in the fine line between arrogance and confidence. Then I said, and I may have to get this copyrighted or something, "When you're an older person and arrogant, it is considered confidence. When you're a younger person and confident, it is arrogance."
I'm not cocky, I'm not conceited. I'm convinced. There's a difference. Being cocky means you act like you're the shit. Being conceited means you think you're the shit and treat people like shit as a result. Being convinced means you know you are what you are and you're happy with it. A lot of times being convinced comes off as cockiness or conceit, but don't let it fool ya!!
