"I'm the greatest batter in the world," said the proud boy
as he tossed the ball into the air and swung his bat. He
missed.

Undaunted, he threw the ball up again and said, "I'm the
greatest batter ever!" He missed again.

He looked at his ball and then his bat. Once more he tossed
the ball up into the air. "I'm the greatest batter who ever
lived!" He swung hard and missed.

"Wow!" he exclaimed. "And I'm an even better pitcher!"

Confidence is what you have before you truly understand the situation.

confidence is: to start a fight with a bunch of thugs
arrogance is: to believe you can win that fight

Confidence, total belief that you are right and a willingness to challenge that belief and learn.

That easily spammed this topic.

Confidence results from the sum of the experiences with others. Talking to people about random stuff while waiting in line is enlightening and confidence building :p

Classic Dekkerism:
Confidence and bullsh*t help you get into clubs, pass interviews, score with women one or two points above you and generally succeed in life.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)
