Don't be afraid to pursue your dreams..., sometimes they DO come true.

Don't overthink a problem..., most of the time , the simplest solution is the best solution.

"Duty is the sublimest word in the english language" Robert E. Lee

One the smartest men I've known, wasted most of his opportunities because instead of doing the job, he spent more time playing office politics. DO THE JOB.

Try to do a good deed a day..., for how it makes YOU feel, helping someone else.

"A stupid person does not learn from his mistakes...
A smart person learns from his mistakes...
A wise person learns from others' mistakes."

Simple:
The key word here is "overconfidence" Overconfidence leads to carelessness, carelessness leads to mistakes and accidents, and in some cases death.

For Example:

WELL-PLACED confidence is a good and useful thing, but both secular and sacred history warn us against the snare of overconfidence. Ancient Babylon was overconfident, only to fall to the armies of Cyrus. And Victor Hugo, the noted French writer and historian of the last century, tells of the overconfidence that Napoleon displayed before the battle of Waterloo:

His overconfidence caused him to believe that victory truly was within his grasp. But history was to record the opposite. So much so, in fact, that “Waterloo” has become proverbial for “a decisive or disastrous defeat or reversal.”

doesnt it make you overestimate your ability. hans taking risks far beyond your skill level. a disaster waiting to happen?

edit: yeah what quicksilver said.

Sanguru what did you have in mind? i know that you've done very well perhaps there's something you know what others don't?
