Arrogance

When you've climbed to the top, you can look down and brag about it. Nobody else will.

Oh Architect






“Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.”

Frank Lloyd Wright

Arrogance, conceit, hubris. Those of us who own it cherish the feel of those ego tingles. Sometimes, it's the little things... the millionaire in the mirror, the professor's autobiography on the coffee table, the gold CEO desk curio, a hundred and forty four messages on the machine. Sometimes, it's the macro-mania private jet commute; a suit and tie picture in the NYT. Sometimes, it's just a dream of it all.

And, then, there are the jealous detractors. They ruin the image. Talk about cruelty. I'll guarantee you this: a billion dollar Wall Street bonus wouldn't hurt.
