There is a thin line of difference between confidence and arrogance - Azim Premji

I was reading to a mail forwarded by my colleague about Inspiring excerpts from the address by Azim Premji , founder, Wipro , at IIT Delhi's convocation ceremony

I liked his lessen #4:

Lesson 4: Nothing fails like success
The fourth lesson I have learnt is the importance of humility. There is a thin line of difference between confidence and arrogance. Confident people are always open to learn. A recent survey of executives in Europe showed that the single most important quality needed for leadership success was the willingness to learn from any situation. Arrogance on the other hand stops learning. It comes with a feeling that one knows all that needs to be known and has done all that needs to be done.


This really really make sense, comes very handy in the corporate world.

Cheers,

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You may get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
