DO YOU HAVE EXTREME SELF CONFIDENCE IN ALL YOU DO, OR DO YOU FIND THAT YOU ARE DOUBLE CHECKING YOURSELF ALSO???
Are you Self Assured?
Are you Self Assured?
As I am getting older, I find that I am not as self assured of myself as I was when I was younger! I am now always "Checking", "double checking, & sometimes even "triple" checking the things that are really important to me!!! :wah:

Are you Self Assured?
Cars, I TOTALLY agree with you; and I would have replied sooner except that I had to check (2 or 3 times) that I`d written this correctly !
Are you Self Assured?
Hey cars well i am only 19 and i always find myself double checking things i do. Just think what i am going to be like when i am older lol
Live life to the max as you only get to do it once!! make your dreams come true :-4
Are you Self Assured?
I just think the older you get the more bad stuff you see happen when you don't check things over well...so that makes you a double and triple checker! 
Are you Self Assured?
I am extremely competent, detail oriented, and cognizant of large systems. As I age, I begin to see levels and levels of cause and effect, motivation and behaviors. The deeper I look, the more I understand the basic underlying truths.
As a result, I have become supremely self-confident. The wealth of experience I have has given me insight into almost every situation I run into. Even situations I haven't experienced before, I find I can intuitively understand and recognize the solution to.
As a result....people think I'm arrogant.
I'm sure that I come off that way sometimes too, but I'm learning to be humble and keep my insights to myself. One side effect of this is that I have become very adept at politics. Something that is a very big part of a teacher's career.
Here's an example:
S, V, and SH are friends. They sit at the same table. D, M, and E are friends and sit at another table. E and SH are deadly enemies. V and D are deadly enemies. S and SH had a fight earlier in the year, but appear to be friends now. M hates V and SH. M told V that she was going to beat her up for what she said earlier. S is V's follower and does anything she wants. S attacked D earlier in the year, on V's say so. Now SH says she's going to beat up E for what she said about V.
Confused? Have you figured it out yet? This is the exact situation that I dealt with earlier today.
Here's the key: How does either group know what the other is saying, if they don't interact with each other at all and sit at different tables?
Answer: S. S stillholds a grudge against V for making her fight SH earlier in the year. She wants to break free from V's influence, but to do this, she must win the trust of D, M, and E. So she has been feeding them information on derogatory comments that V has been saying. this is risky, since if V finds out she is a traitor, she will be without any group at all, wwhich is death to a teenager.
So to hedge her bets, she's been returning with derogatory information from D, M, and E and feeding it to V to get her confidence.
Result: V destroys E, or E destroys V. Possibly, D, and M get involved too, and SH who has a short violent temper is bound to jump into the fray.
There's more: S knows that at this time of year, we don't just suspend kids who get in fights. We use a loophole that allows us to suspend a student for ten days pending an expulsion hearing, but since there are only ten days left until school's out, the hearing will never happen. It's our way of getting rid of troublemakers in the most volitile part of the year.
S. deliberately waited until that window to make her move. Which ever side is destroyed (or both) she comes out clean. Then, she joins forces with the survivors and begins next year with a solid power base.
Elementary, My dear Watson.

Are you Self Assured?
Yes, I believe I am self assured and have been for most of my adult life, which was spent in sales & marketing. As I have aged, I have been able to accecpt certain physical limitations. I no longer hit a golf ball as far as when I was 35, but I sure outdrive my peer group. I can't run as fast, jump as high, dive as deep, but I can clean clock on my peer group. The mind? It's sharper than ever and loaded with life experiences, both good and bad, which adds to my reasoning and judgement capabilities.
Are you Self Assured?
I'm with Jives. The more confidence I gain the more arrogant or "cold" people accuse me of being.
At the same time I am, apparently, a push over.
I figure that I can't worry too much about what other people think I have to pay more attention to how I feel. I'm learning to be more outspoken kind of confident. If you don't stand up for yourself in construction the concrete guys will drive right over you and all your stuff. Bastards. Now I just stand there and point my nailgun at their tires.

You certainly are one of the lucky ones, aren't you!
When you put it in a working context, then I guess I know why I check & double check everything. As a former Engineering manager in an Engineering world, it was required to check, & re-check all calculations, measurements, design parameters, customer requirements & the like. I guess it sort of just slipped over into the every day real life situations for me now. :guitarist
