Really? Everyone is rich in California? I didnt know that and I live in Los Angeles. I have spent the past 3 years barley scraping by, holding my business together with duct tape. Wow I am such a loser. I live in LA and I'm not rich. “Yes, I believe most of us North Americans get cocky after the first million is made… especially in California.. where everyone is rich.”

If you don't think you're the best, you'll never be the best. This takes place in sports, politics, war and even business.

Let's compare those numbers to our foreign neighbors. Cockiness is sometimes used as a derogatory term for confidence. If you don’t think you’re the best, you’ll never be the best.
