Daily Dose of Reason - Psychology & Self-Improvement

Those who feel, "Who am I to judge?" exclude themselves from the realm of understanding, comprehension and, because of that, from self-esteem. Those who are certain of everything think they have found a short-cut to self-esteem, and possess a phony sort of self-esteem that comes across as arrogance or "too much" confidence. But each type of person, the humble and the arrogant--however unlike each other on the surface--are really guilty of the same basic, fundamental error.
