Stable, but stuck in dead end clerical position because they won’t give me opportunities to grow professionally. Have the experience and work ethic. So I’m taking time to teach myself new data management/ statistical tools and excel at it with a personal timeline. Eventually they won’t be able to deny me because of my skills.

Sorry about your divorce, and I wish you luck in your future. It’s also on guys to seek the right kind of woman. Sometimes it’s a repeating cycle because of choosing the same kind of bad mates over and over. Same thing happens with women who ‘end up with’ abusive and/or low quality men.

Kevin's words resonate with so much sapiens! He was a master of the trade of putting words to thoughts in a beautiful and understandable way. He will be missed but his legacy is for all to share!

I walk tall, and I walk with my chest sticking out. When I don’t feel confident on a certain day, I fake it. When I feel confident, I show it. I’m proud of who I am, and I’m proud of who I am becoming! I’m not arrogant, but I’m not about to stop being who I am because someone doesn’t like it.

I can't co-sign this enough! It reminds me of the flack l catch for running for public office and losing. The only people who toss that in my face are those who didn't have the will to do what l did. Little do they realize that those losses opened up more doors than l ever thought possible. It as a man said to me...'l've been insulted by better people'

I make 6 figures, I’m a war veteran, I’m a SWAT officer, I’m jacked, I’m ripped, I’m good looking and tall, and my best feature is that I’m very smart. My hard work paid off and people notice it. We’ve been going to a new gym lately and a lot of the girls there have been staring at me and acting a little desperate around me. It’s made her insecure and jealous acting. So she’s saying that my ego is out of control and it’s causing issues in the relationship. Literally things were going really well one second and then she had a melt down.

You do not have arrogance, you have Discipline personified. There’s a reason us military men and first responders stick out in a crowd in our bearing, word and action. Subconsciously the population, male and female, will seek us out to know who to get behind when the shit hits the fan. I would bet my Old Veteran ass the traits that you espouse attracted your wife to you in the first place. To shame you for that now over something YOU attained through hard work sacrifice and self control is her shortcoming. Instead of busting your balls, she should be claiming her man and chasing away the other alley cats. She knows the female nature. I’m sure if the rolls were reversed any bug eyed drooler would be dealt with swiftly and “professionally” to make a point to mediate that situation to her need and approval. Don’t change. There are very few MEN of caliber left and your example is needed by many men as what and who they should/could be in the world. Instead of bitching your woman should be blessing you. Be safe out there, complete the mission, and get home to a happy hearth and heart.

This is one of the biggest things I took from your wisdom in your time here. Thank you. Rest in peace, Mr. Samuels.

This video may not be geared toward women. But as a human being, I felt this, so very much. I have been picked on all my life for being different, and I have always downplayed myself in order to be "accepted". But you're right -- it never mattered what I did, people STILL didn't like me. After a situation with some "mean girls" in my mid 30s, I realized something. I'm not simply "different". I'm actually BETTER than they are. Because the choices they've made, the things they choose to do, the way they treat people -- I don't do ANY of that. It had been hard for me to accept being "better", even back in school. I felt we were all the same, we just had different lives, that's all. I met my husband at 23, and I didn't have to downplay myself to him. So we married (and we are STILL married, I'm 40 and we've been married 16 years, after knowing one another for 9 months). But I still wasn't secure in myself and continued to tone myself down for the world. When that nonsense happened, I realized it was being BETTER that was making me different. And YES -- based on my track record, I have the right to be arrogant about my intelligence, the way I make my decisions, etc etc. So thank you for this. If I'd had this video 20 years ago, I probably would've been happier but it took alot of pain for me to accept and embrace ME, and be okay with being called arrogant, as well. (And just for stats, just in case there are any nay-sayers ready to troll me -- I've basically been married my entire adult life, we have 3 homeschooled children, the oldest of which has graduated at 15, is starting college at 16 and has won $160,000 in scholarships. We have two businesses, one belonging to me and one to him, which employ black people and black contractors. We have land both here AND overseas, and we have investments as well. I'm 5'7", the most I've ever weighed is 160 and that's AFTER having his 3 children and getting older than 35. We still work out and eat moderately healthy. We were financially ambitious people and we are STILL ambitious, and it is that drive that insists that we move forward)

Well that was a happy ending of the highest order! That was a great read/story. Downplaying yourself in order to be accepted - and no matter what you did, it didn't matter etc. You have no idea - even as a man - how much I relate to what you went through. This was my past as well. Nowadays I esteem myself much higher and as I ought to - and the difference is clear, in noticing how others interact with me. My former circle were a bunch of crabs - and I stayed in that bucket for far too long. If only I knew then, what I know now - but better late than never!

This is the greatest mistake I’ve made my time while I was in school, with my friends, adults and teachers. Dimming your light so others can feel comfortable around you can effect your time going into adulthood and it will put you in a huge conflict with your self esteem. Boy I wish I have done this earlier so I can already be ahead where I am now

Kevin was 100% correct. I've been called arrogant all my life. People get arrogance and cockiness mixed up with intelligence, confidence, boldness and self assurance. And brothers get it the worse. But I make shit happen.

No, I think you have the wrong definition of arrogant. This is a great video but I think he should have use the word confidence instead of arrogant. Go look up the definition of arrogant and then look up the definition nation of confidence.

5:54 "It ain't bragging if it's true". Right on!

This was me in grade school... I dumbed myself down and it eventually became my norm. My paradigm. Now I find myself underachieving a lot because of my past decisions. This video hit home! Appreciate this!

You can be confident & assertive without putting others down. If they feel a type of way. That’s their problem not yours. Stand tall & keep pushing forward. Never dim your light to make others feel comfortable.

This one of my favorite videos of Kevin had to come back to it. RIP

This was a hard one for me because I valued what my friends thought. It took me a while to realize me and my friends weren’t going to the same places in life, which equated to them not being there or not being able to provide that value when I needed it. I don’t mean to discredit anyone but for lack of a better term, they were average losers who wanted me to get drunk and high like them so I was on there level. Never again brotha never again!

A friend recommended that I watch this video. He believes that I am too humble, unassertive and I don't celebrate myself and my accomplishments enough. Not in the tone of being weak, I just don't seek attention; introvert. Humility is just in my spirit, but I believe it's time to turn it up a notch! Many Blessings 🙏🏽

It can be a bad thing. Arrogance Is an exaggeration of ones importance. A person could be in denial and be arrogant. There's a noticeable amount of people like that. If someone's arrogant and got nothing going for them, that's bad. Now if you're self confident and have good balance, that's fine. Some mix being humble and other things together. Others confuse self confidence with arrogance so that's a whole different thing. If you ain't doing any harm to others and you're doing you, then you aren't arrogant.

Very true. I've always been insulted and shamed for wanting to succeed and make it and when I made it my "friends and family" never was happy for me but jealous and would try to make me feel bad. Leave that negative energy. Surround yourself with successful people to keep leveling up.

Been on my purpose for almost 3 years now and I’m 23 , focus on you , it’s always lonely when your the truth but it’s good🙏🏾

I've grown accustomed to walking solo because of this very reason. I have a small circle of people that I receive godly counsel from but I'm also open to recieved feedback for what it's worth. Staying confidently humble is a fine line but for me it's worth walking. I appreciate this word.

I was arrogant about a year ago, and life was roiling smooth because of it. I was always firm on my standards and what I expect of myself but people around said things such as " That's not fair" or " It can be that way", Every time the answer was and still very much simple; Life isn't fair. Now that "I'm not arrogant anymore" (according to those who see me in their perceived way) Life has been going down hill as more peers tell it should be this way and not my way. Short story never again will I take advice from women or men who act like women/who bow to women. BE ARROGANT, You could do so much more but because someone has a bad life or they may think they are in a good light you take their terrible advice and apply it without trail first and now your life is worse than if you stayed the way you where. Be a man, never show emotion not even once, a small sign of weakness shows the world you can be hurt by the slightest touch/statement. Don't back down show Dominance. Remember BE ARROGANT.

Happened at my job when boss gave me a project. His idea for it was writing some boring essay to communicate to management. I told him.... this isnt going to gain any traction and make an imprint on management. What we need to do is create a visual presentation with personality, graphics, the new idea of what the website could be in....complete visual form. Told him id do it on my own time but wouldnt do it his way as it was a waste of time in his format. He objected and kept saying it was a great opportunity. I said no. Essays arent how you create change for a website. You have to show problems via video where a person is interacting with it. I was let go a few months later and so was he. Meanwhile ive surpassed him comparing linked in profiles. The dull and limited shall remain below. Keep pushing through. They are the enemies of progress, intelligence, and creativity

Success should not be announced. Real confidence comes from the deep knowing that you are good enough. Achievement that is announced is perceived as arrogance. Not only is it perceived as arrogance but it is a sign of deep insecurity from the necessity to get validation from outside sources. Your inner validation should come from your achievements and your work.

@StageInTheSkyCreations

I'm gonna have to disagree here. As humans we are social creatures. Not all occupations, goals, and accomplishments come with an audience or witnesses. Confidence does come from within to attain that success, but once you've attained it, there's nothing worse than seeing others celebrated for far less. I do think that it is an insecurity, but that kind of insecurity isn't exclusive to the one who isn't validated for their success. Throughout the Bible we're encouraged to give all credit and glory to God. He doesn't "need it" but why do you think it's encouraged. We're made in God's image. Not just our appearance, but our emotions as well. Hate, love, anger, and jealousy are all emotions that have described God in the Bible and these are all emotions we have as humans. When you live among a generation where only women and men chosen by women are openly praised and celebrated, men must announce their success, especially to those who "claim" to know him. Because otherwise you don't exist. And if you feel like you don't exist, what's the point of being alive? That's why men kill themselves. I'd much rather have them announce their success and go on living, at the chagrin of a few haters...then keep their accomplishments hidden, non-existing, for the sake of today's modern society, only to get a call one day that they've slit their wrists in the bathtub.
