Kindle Notes & Highlights
No great men or women, no matter how outwardly humble and gracious, are self-deprecating, diffident, weaklings. They possess a rare concentration of intelligence and ability, and they aren’t ashamed to make it known, even if only by their actions. This self-confidence is often misinterpreted and denounces as shameless self-love, implying that the only way to be “acceptable” is to assume an air of tottering docility. The genius knows better, though.
No matter the journey, one will always face opposition, whether in the form of competitors, enemies, meddlers, saboteurs, incompetents, and the like. The simplest way to defeat them all is to accomplish what you set out to accomplish.
