Childhood Insecurities Carried Over

Overlooked Outlook Posted on September 8, 2022 by adminSeptember 8, 2022

“Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me. Even as an adult, I still have recurring flashbacks of sitting at lunch tables alone or hiding in a bathroom stall, or trying to make a new friend and being laughed at. In my twenties I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friend. So I shouted it from the rooftops, posted pictures, and celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood, without realizing that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone. It’s important to address our long-standing issues before we turn into the living embodiment of them.”

-Helpful advice from Taylor Swift, in the March 2019 issue of Elle

Reflections: The Drawbacks of Too Much Confidence

Overlooked Outlook Posted on May 16, 2022 by adminMay 16, 2022

“In my whole career I’ve been passing men with greater bravado and confidence. Confidence gets you off to a fast start. Confidence gets you that first job and maybe the next two promotions. But confidence stops you from learning. Confidence becomes a caricature after a while. I can’t tell you how many confident blowhards I’ve seen in my coaching career who never got better after the age of forty.”

– Super Bowl winning coach Bill Walsh, quoted from Rich Karlgaard’s book Late Bloomers
