IF YOU DON'T SAY IT NO ONE WILL

IF YOU DON'T SAY IT NO ONE WILL

 

 People seem to have a skewed view over what is arrogance and what is confidence. To make it in this world surely you need confidence but no one likes an over arrogant person. Let’s start with breaking down the exact meaning of both terms. 

CONFIDENCE- —noun 

  1. full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing: We have every confidence in their ability to succeed

ARROGANCE- — noun 

  1. 1. offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.


           

See the key word is BELIEF. Without believing first, there’s no way you can start achieving.

 Hip Hop/Rap is my favorite genre and it is a genre that is mostly filled with braggadocio lyrics and much bravado. However that type of swagger and confidence is needed when it comes to performing and being a top tier emcee. Take for example, Lil Wayne, I’m sure you heard of him. At first he started as the youngest in his group (Hot Boys) to becoming one of the best rappers ever. People did not start crediting or even thinking about Wayne as a top artist until he made a bold claim stating he’s “the best rapper alive since the best rapper retired”. Saying that you are the best or putting yourself in the conversation of being the best forces people to take a look at your track record and if you can show up in the present they would have no choice but to accept your claim.

 Please remember that when people want you to tone down your excitement you have for yourself or question you for comparing yourself to the greats. For everyone who became great only did so once they considered themselves great.
