Modesty nothing'.
I got handed my butt far too many times to not want to change who I was intellectually, morally, and in character and general self confidence.
I had my bully's and I took the crap they dished out until I developed thick enough skin to take it and enough self confidence to start out smarting them at their own game.
I may have started my childhood as a whiny weak little blond haired boy with fragile feelings but I grew out of it. I don't pull my punches and I have no problem hitting below the belt if I feel it justifies the nessisary ends to defeat a cheater or knock down a loud mouth who is asking for it.
I didn't become who I am because everyone made me feel that I am the undeserving king of the world or that I am good at everything I do. Rather I became who I am to prove them wrong and show that in fact I can become someone who is better than them much to their dislike.
Saddly I feel a whole generation now is having that self confidence and character bleached right out of them and it sickens me. There are winners and there are losers in every thing and not everyone deserves ice cream after playing a bad game to make them feel better about performing poorly or because they met someone who is better than them at something.
