Shiny outcomes, self-confidence, and humility
Self-confidence can lead to shiny outcomes syndrome where individuals compare themselves to others and feel pressured to achieve similar outcomes, often at the cost of doing work they dislike. Trusting one's decisions and going against conventional best practices can be beneficial. Confidence should not be mistaken for arrogance; it is essential for individuals to believe in themselves and their potential. While humility is crucial, confidence and humility can coexist. Arrogance involves looking down on others. Maintaining humility while interacting with one's audience is vital for success. Developing confidence and humility in tandem can be a winning combination. Examples from successful individuals like Elon Musk demonstrate how confidence and humility can go hand in hand, leading to genuine connections with others.
