I stared at my missed shot while the ball kept bouncing. This was how I learned what true self confidence was for while I looked at my missed shot and felt the world was laughing at me a friend who had missed five shots before demanded the ball to take another shot. Didn’t he realize that same world was laughing at him? I had missed only one shot (it was way off) but he missed five how could he demand another chance shouldn’t he be embarrassed like me? The truth is those with self confidence truly know how to take a shot or two or three and get back up. They will not concede defeating even if a chorus of fat ladies is singing to them. It might appear as arrogance to some but when it works their mistakes vanish in air. My friend made the sixth shot and I believe won the game or at least in his head he did.
One further note this occurred in my junior year in college
