Thanks for helping me see that. <br />And your offer to remind me if I ever become arrogant... I'll hold you to that.KCTraeBeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924652942149227626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4791211573864036869.post-26300069567781977742014-01-16T20:50:46.082-05:002014-01-16T20:50:46.082-05:00Wow, I've never felt that most successful writ...Wow, I've never felt that most successful writers (or other people) are arrogant. Makes me wonder who you've been considering. I don't know the personal side of most authors, so I can't offer a list of counter examples. In the entertainment business, it seems easy to find plenty of successful people who are labeled as humble. So would you cite some examples of arrogance? And is it harder to cite examples of humility? I suspect that the respected ones who are (or were) arrogant had always been that way, but it's overlooked because of their genius.<br /><br />BTW, if you ever become an arrogant "famous geriatric Olympic athlete", I'll be sure to remind you of your "messy biological imperatives" :-) Nice picture of the toilet paper - strangely artistic!Chrishttp://filer.case.edu/cxf47/noreply@blogger.com
