Life is all about confidence. For instance, last night I sat in that poker game and new there wasn't one person that played even remotely as well as I do. I just knew I would eventually win and I did.
Picking those MLB plays last night I didn't feel confident at all. I did it right at the table and was interrupted by hands many times while doing it. I went 0 - 3 - 1.
Let me tell you a little story, about 30 years ago a few writers and a producer in Hollywood were sitting around trying to figure out what the alien creature was going to look like in their new action movie. One writer raised his hand and said, 'How about we give it a **** face?' The producer looked at him and said in his best Deniro voice, "you, you're good, you". That writer walked around the set that day like the big chief. He's the brain behind the '**** face' Alien.
Later that night, the writer went out with a bunch of his movie friends and he banged the hottest girl in the bar. How? He's **** face for crying out loud. He just exuded confidence and that not only let him do a better job at his profession but attracted people to him as well.
Where is he today? Last I heard he walks around LA ****-eyed drunk trying to get in the hottest clubs claiming to be the original **** face.
