I finally saw it happen! I must confess the honest person did a better job but she also honestly answered the question, " Do you think you did enough to beat so and so?" She said "I am not sure." Her opponent said ,"I wouldn't answered that question that way." She said, "I would have said yes!" And in the end the honest woman won! I can't tell you how good it was to see. I am always honest. Arrogance is the one thing I loathe. How about you? How do you feel about honesty beating arrogance?

Hi... I have always loathed arrogance too. Arrogance expresses over confidence, over confidence implies small mistakes which are ignored, this ignorence implies imperfection at what you do; which results in failure...
Honesty is beauty! I mean, if one is honest then one doesn't have to lie. One lie can make one speak 100 more lies and one has to remember 'em all... If one is honest, it will reflect in his attitude and manners. Honest one rise in the end to be the Noble ones. Yes, honesty always wins...

Well said. If you lie you better have a great memory. If you are honest, you can be forgetful. Plus honesty is faster. The truth Will come out in time. But if you are honest, then the truth is immediate. I'm almost always truthful. I lie Only to keep a good thing a Surprise , like a Christmas or Birthday gift.

syc I Strongly disagree. I Guess I am not a woman because I don't hate women who are better looking than I. I tell the truth 99$ of the time. The one percent is to keep a surprise gift a secret. But since you believe that Everyone lies I Assume you think I'm lying now! As for guys and women on the side. that has been happening since G-d was a boy . But that does not mean All men cheat. And I hate to burst your bubble but not all children tell the truth All the time.

I think sometimes we do or say something with arrogance not knowingly. It's tolerable I think if we can deliver arrogance in a most discreet manner. Just find the best prudent words to deliver it. And it should be said in a tactful, not obvious motives of being conceited so that you won't judged and tagged as high and mighty.
Well, I also hate snobbish-overconfident typical-arrogant. They talk as in they are the best of the best. Well again, those talk the most arrogantly can be the most stupid person on Earth. Why not, they are just there to talk about themselves. Ask them about something sensible, they won't level up *lol
I think we can be honest with a slight of arrogance with it. Arrogance also means pride. But just be on a tolerable level so that it can't be on a negatives.
Generally, yes honesty beats arrogance. It's like positve and negatives. Honesty is the positive, arrogance is the negative. And who likes the negatives? not unless you'll find or convert that negative into being a positive.

Who likes the negative? Me! I'm the negative . I Still say no more than yes.I'm proud of being stubborn! But arrogance is far different. It isn't prideful, it is lying about oneself. And thinking or expecting an arrogant person to show you their sensitive side you will be waiting forever!

Why thanks. I do try to understand others points of view . But I'm negative because I usually see the glass half empty than half full.

Well, being on the safe-haven side we want to be by choice is up to us as long as we don't compromise others enjoyment. You said you're in the negatives, but sorry I don't think that way. I think you're just the candid type. Hmmm, if we're happy that way, go!
You're stubborn but not arrogant! Good for you and for the people you're blending with.
Positives is not always to see that persons for a good change (and who really knows what good means huh?) but also to understand why a person is acting that way. Understand and emphatize I think is best to sort things out.
Anyway, every persons attitude and thinking is so unique.
If there's an apple in the table, I may see it differently towards on how you may want to see it.
It's a good conversation out here! Nice meeting you!

Where did you see this Sarah?!
I haven't seen any of this victory over arrogance in my line of work, as most people here think that they are smooth talkers. And somehow it comes off as just plain arrogance to me.
I can't stand people who think they know everything.

Honesty always beats arrogance. Hands down. I do not like it when people push my buttons and bring me to the point of anger, those are the arrogant people that do that to me. Honesty is the best policy. I have always been honest and extremely blunt. Some people just cannot handle that behavior. Oh well.

I fall in with your views.The honest woman is actually a very modest and unassuming sort of person,which is the reason why she can beat the arrogant one .Over here, there is an old saying" haughtiness invites disaster,humility receives benefit".Golden saying it is!
