Has anyone ever told to you, you are arrogant? Many adage that says, that arrogant will close our hearts. With arrogant, we feel versatile, bossy , likes compete, easy to underestimate the opinions of others and so forth. All the opinion told, become arrogant people just harming yourself and just will bring a lot of enemies in your life. But, I think, sometimes we do have to be arrogant because that's a way to making many people know our success. We should be proud and arrogant with aim that other people appreciate us. Agree with my opinion?

Really I have never been told that. I think that my problem is that there are times where I am not arrogant enough, if that makes any sense. The fact of the matter is that arrogance when in small doses, can really lead to some confidence in our abilities and allow us to raise our levels of success up to the heights that we could only have dreamed about in the past. The problem is really when we become a bit too arrogant. Being a little bit arrogant, not too much of a problem. Over arrogance can lead to us being sloppy and shutting out the opinions of those around us. Opinions that can help us really grow as a person. So yeah, there needs to be a happy medium between too arrogant and also being too humble is not a good thing, as you really in some ways limit exactly what you can do in life.

Dear friend, I feel it might depend mostly on those situations one is in. But if we have to be arrogant we should be, if we have to humble we should be. I feel it depends upon the situations and getting it done better accordingly.

Yes, I've trying to be more humble for the past 10 years. Actually no one told me I am but I felt like I was. Before I thought having that full of pride was normal but then I started to hate arrogant people to realize that we only be aware of someone's flaw when WE ARE THAT. So I've been trying, like making conversation first, doing things that might even humiliate but it's great for my ego cause it puts it down. Not down but I want equilibrium.
