Arrogance

I think I am quite arrogant. I believe that if I wish for something enough, I will get it.

What do I mean by this? Well... certainly I'm not saying that by simply wishing, I get what I want. What I'm saying is that if I wish for something, I will manage to do things to fulfill the wish. And if I don't manage do fulfill it, it just means I didn't wish it enough.

In other words, if I want something I'll do as much as I care to get said something. For me to get it I need to act, and I'll act as long as I care. So if I don't care enough, I won't get what I want.

Or for short, if you want something, do what you must to get said something. If you don't do enough, you won't get it.

Simple right. Now what does this remind you?

This is what you most likely get taught... well everywhere. And this is very fundamental in our lives.

However, is this really the truth?
