Pap called me today. We talked for awhile about school and classes and my grades. He told me I need o be patient and positive. He also said something that I've heard from a lot of different people over the years. He goes, "You sell yourself short, you can do more than you think."
I really don't think I do. I'm very aware of what I can do. It's like the quote from Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh, "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” I'm fairly certain that's the truest thing I've ever heard. I would die to hear that from someone.
Smarter than I think? I'm smart. I'm no brainiac but I have my strong suits.
Braver than I believe? Agreed.
Stronger than I seem? Again, agreed.
There's the confidence you're all looking for. It's here, believe me it's here. I won't forget what I have to offer. I just don't ever feel the need to showcase myself. I'll let others speak on my behalf and when it's my turn to talk I will. Talk about myself? That's not me, that's for the birds and bees.
I know I'm brave, strong, and smart. And I know that I don't need to tell you guys that. If you don't know that then let's be honest, you don't know me.
You might not ever know me, rather you'll know about me, but it doesn't hurt to try.
