Often people think others are arrogant when they will not hear their advice or point of view. Yet in a way that is an arrogant thought in itself. You see if you believe that your advice is so important that the other person MUST listen to you then are you being arrogant that your advice is above any other persons advice?

Now then in the process of calling someone else arrogant who will not hear your advice are you not being arrogant yourself? Hello Mirror! And isn’t it a slap in the face to someone of knowledge when some of little knowledge tries to give advice to them.

For instance a good friend of mine has been in the business as a Financial Planner 37 years and her clientele often call her to tell her something or give her advice on something she knows quite a bit about and has for 30 years. After all why are they hiring her as a consultant to manage their money if they do not trust her knowledge?

And yet if she acts in a way and says; "Yes I know that of course" then the other person might say; “Well how conceited?” or “You are quite arrogant!” or worse not say anything but think it and thus she might lose a client you see? In reality those of ignorance will often see what they think of as conceit and arrogance when they are actually the one’s who need to work thru their own arrogance. You see what I mean? Consider all this in 2006.
