Way to go Mr. President. While all the lames are worried about if you were born in America, if you black or white, if your Christian or a Muslim, if you had what it takes to be commander in chief, you stay poised and go about doing the things you said you were going to do in your campaign. Another feather in your cap sir.

But there is a thin line between being confident and being arrogant. No one likes a know-it-all, or someone who doesn’t listen because they believe they have nothing to learn. If you display arrogance, you may turn people off, lose potential opportunities and hurt your reputation. Not to mention it can be a lonely way to live. So here are some ways to maximize your confidence without encroaching into arrogance territory.

Be Approachable

Having confidence doesn’t do you any good if you become standoffish or unfriendly because of it. You want to be able to enhance and develop relationships, not make people view you guardedly. You can make yourself more approachable by making eye contact and using body language that invites conversation.

In social settings, introduce yourself, offer a firm (but not too strong) handshake, and remember and use others’ names as you chat. In social networking situations, engage in conversations – both personal and business-related – to show your personality and give people a way to relate to you.

Be Sincere

Arrogant people either rarely offer compliments or do so in a way that feels forced and artificial, and it can almost undermine the success of the other person. Make a point to frequently and genuinely acknowledge the hard work and successes of those around you, even those who you may consider competition.

When engaged in daily conversations, listen well and focus on developing relationships. Avoid saying what you think the other person wants to hear and instead wait until you feel moved to offer an authentic and personal comment.

Be Humble

Modesty and confidence work exceptionally well together in the battle against arrogance. To be considered confident without arrogance, act with humility when you are recognized for a job well done, and be accountable for your role in any errors that transpire.

If you are part of a team that reaches success, take time to share the praise, give credit, and point out the contributions of others. We rarely reach success without support from someone else, and acknowledging the role others have played in our accomplishments is a great way to display confidence without arrogance.

Be Wrong

Arrogance almost always comes with a perpetual belief that you are right, while confidence balances your ability to listen and learn from those around you. While it may seem that admitting uncertainty can chip away at your level of confidence, the opposite is true. Being clear about what you know and what you don’t know can be liberating, and it’s usually appreciated by others.

Be Forthcoming

You’re confident because you’re good at what you do. Instead of sitting on a pedestal with your knowledge in your pocket, share it. Speak at conferences, write a blog, and talk to your colleagues to impart some of the wisdom you have gained.

Having a collaborative attitude can prevent you from every being tagged as arrogant and it can open the door to new relationships and opportunities.

Do you know someone who is confident but borders on arrogance? What would you suggest they do to rid themselves of the overconfidence?

Today I went to a funeral to support a co-worker who daughter past away on Easter morning. His daughter was only 24 months old. You never think about your life expectancy and many time we just assume that there is always tomorrow. As important that it is to plan for tomorrow we must ALWAYS remember that we have to maximize what we can do today. When you work hard to maximize your potential today you are also working toward fulfilling GOD’s plan for you. Any times with my teams and work and when I coached sports we talked about destiny and how what we do not only affect us but affects everyone around us even people we don’t no can be affect through our actions. Everyone we must open up our eyes and see just how our decisions (or lack their of) have a huge impact on us helping ourselves and other’s fulfill GOD’s plan for us. When my Aunt Rita passed away due to cancer the preacher said  that we don’t always get to see the finish line. We don’t no when its our time to pass on and be with GOD. Do everything you can today while setting a successful future because your life clock is already preset and one day we will all reach our finish line.

Thank you T-Mobile for my new LG G-Slate but now I have no use for my iPAD I got back in December… I love you iPad but its time to get a return on my investment. I’m looking to sale my 32 GB iPAD (i paid $599.99) Charging Dock (i paid $45) and a leather case that converts into a stand (i paid $50).

It’s in mint condition, if you ever had an iPad the front is all glass and the rest is aluminum that mean its nearly impossible to scratch or dent and the device is in mint condition.

Yes everyone thats a $695 value for just $450 or best offer! I have already had some people show interest but it goes to the first person with cash!

Happy Easter

According to various sources, including the good people at Mental Floss, the Easter Bunny has a long history as a pagan symbol. Experts believe that early Christians “co-opted” the rabbit as a way to make their own holiday more popular.

The abbreviated history: “Many pagan cultures held spring festivals” hundreds of years ago. One such festival was in celebration of “Eostre, the goddess of dawn.” Mental Floss explains that Eostre was “linked to the hare and the egg, both symbols of fertility.” As a way to convert the pagans to Christianity, missionaries began turning the festivals into Christian holidays.

It’s a story with many similarities to the story of St. Patrick and the four-leaf clovers. According to Catholic.org, “Patrick used a three-leafed shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the locals. However, other sites call this story just a myth.” The Easter Bunny was another example of Christians using pagan symbols.

As for the modern version of the Easter Bunny — you know, an enormous rabbit who wears a bow-tie and looks very cute — he’s mostly taken from German traditions that stretch back to the 1500s. Again according to Mental Floss, “The Germans converted the pagan rabbit image into Oschter Haws, a rabbit that was believed to lay a nest of colored eggs as gifts for good children.”

And that’s how we stand today. Not coincidentally, online lookups for “how to hard boil an egg” are through the roof. But something tells us most kids would be far happier to find candy and chocolate in their baskets.

Yesterday I got me a new car!!! The 2011 Kia Optima Ex!!! I know your sayin its a “Kia” but the underdog always have somethin to prove and once I sat in this car Kia prove it was worth the investment.

A Dark Horse That Belongs in the Winner’s Circle

By John DiPietro, Automotive Editor

With the 2011 Kia Optima, the little-known car company from South Korea has its breakout vehicle, a midsize sedan of such style and charm that it will change what you think about every Kia. Beneath the skin, the Optima might share its platform and engine with the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, yet this Kia has its own style, both inside and out. Where the Sonata has an American vibe, the Optima has a European flair in both the way it looks and the way it goes down the road.

There’s plenty of substance underneath the style, too. A feeling of higher quality permeates the Optima, from the solid thunk of a door closing to how it feels on the open road. And the Hyundai/Kia value philosophy is here in full effect as well, with plenty of standard luxury features as well as that long, peace-of-mind warranty.

Even better, this 2011 Kia Optima EX is a bargain, even priced less than its comparable Hyundai Sonata Limited cousin. It’s a tempting alternative to the blasé status quo of midsize family sedans, more like the Suzuki Kizashi SLS or the Ford Fusion SEL than a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry.

Performance

The Optima’s 2.4-liter inline-4 makes 192 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, an impressive output from a naturally aspirated (not turbocharged nor supercharged) four-cylinder engine. However, against the EPA combined estimate of 27 mpg, we averaged just 22 mpg in over 1,000 miles of driving. In fairness much of the Optima’s time with us involved both legendary L.A. gridlock and our staff’s leadfoot tendencies.

This engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, which helps to, yes, optimize its performance. And the willing engine and smooth transmission appear to be a happy couple. Although the 2011 Kia Optima’s 0-60-mph sprint of 9.2 seconds is just about average for this segment of sedans, the power spread from low- to midrange rpm is generous, so this 3,407-pound car never feels flat-footed when dicing with city traffic or when thrust is needed for swift merging on the freeway or passing on the open road.

Though it offers manual gearchange capability, the cooperative automatic is always on point, making DIY changes unnecessary unless you just want to play. The six-shooter swaps gears seamlessly without a bit of shift shock and it’s quick to step down a gear or two when needed. The Optima’s brakes are likewise competent, with a solid pedal feel and a smooth, linear action. The Kia’s 121-foot stopping distance from 60 is excellent for this segment, where distances of more than 130 feet are the norm.

Whether dawdling through city traffic or given the crop on a curving on-ramp, the Optima has an amenable temperament. The suspension is compliant enough to take pockmarked pavement in stride while still keeping its composure when driven spiritedly through the turns. It’s biased toward comfort rather than cornering, but for most folks it’ll likely be just right. The Kia’s precise steering feels more natural than most electric-assisted systems we’ve sampled, and indeed provides more satisfying weighting and linear action than the setup of the Hyundai Sonata.

Comfort

The tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and power seat offer a wide enough range of adjustments so you can get comfortable. And all outboard passengers are treated to sculpted, supportive seating. Yes, the rear middle seat is a bit tight for adults, but the same goes for any sedan in this midsize category. Rear passengers are treated to a large fold-down armrest as well as their own air vents, the latter an uncommon nicety in this segment. Most folks should find the rear compartment roomy enough, and only those over 6 feet tall may find accommodations a bit tight.

In addition to the aforementioned supple ride, the Optima provides peace and quiet, with road and wind noise levels amply muted. And even when subjected to the blown-out streets of downtown Los Angeles, the Optima never protested with a squeak or rattle.

Function

Walk up to the 2011 Kia Optima EX and the cabin lights thoughtfully come on before you reach the door, as if to welcome you inside. With the standard keyless entry/ignition, you just leave the key in your pocket as you enter the car and fire it up.

The gauges and most controls are clear and intuitive, with the electronic displays for fuel level and coolant temperature having a more conventional, easily read design than that seen in some competitors. Stowage space is respectable, with a generous console box, usable door pockets and large cupholders.

Working the Kia’s navigation system is second nature, with common adjustments (such as map orientation and scale) done without the need to dive into a menu. Entering addresses is quick, as are finding POIs and issuing cancellation commands. Visual and voice prompts are clear as well.

The standard iPod jack and a small cubby are located in front of the shifter. That makes for a convenient if not wise location, as it requires you to unplug the device and stash it out of sight to minimize the risk of theft. Then again, this may be a nonissue — doesn’t everybody have an iPod now? Choosing your music is easy, thanks to big virtual buttons, while the audio system itself provides clear sound with enough punch for everyone short of overzealous head-bangers.

The Kia Optima passed our usability tests with flying colors. At 15.4 cubic feet, the Optima’s well-shaped trunk is fairly capacious and our reverse-facing baby seat still left enough room for a 5-foot-10 front passenger when installed in back.

Design/Fit and Finish

The Optima projects the image of a luxury sport sedan and overall appears more upscale than nearly every other car in this class. Its lines are dramatically expressed, yet all the elements are cleanly integrated, notably the swept-back headlights, clean flanks mercifully free of the usual rising character line and an elegant greenhouse with a single chrome strip accenting the roof line’s sweep.

With its quality materials, tight panel gaps and tasteful wood-tone accents, the Optima’s cabin could pass for that of a premium-branded sedan. It tells you that it’s a driver’s car first and a family car second, with the center stack of feature controls canted toward the driver and stylish French stitching on the leather upholstery for the dash, seats and door armrests.

Who should consider this vehicle

More stylish and upscale in feel than the common Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the very well-equipped 2011 Kia Optima offers midsize sedan buyers not only the feeling that they’re getting a well-made, well-equipped car for the money but also one that they’ll look forward to commuting and taking road trips in. Those looking for sportier performance from the Optima might want to consider the turbocharged EX-T and SX variants that are due out a few months after the 2011 Optima debut in late November.
