OK we are all here working on bettering our finances and quality of life. We all have great ideas and we work hard to implement them. With some luck and a lot of hard work we achieve success despite the naysayers. This all makes you look brilliant. So your driving in your car and believing all the hype about how brilliant you are and you have to stop for gas. You pump your gas and go inside to get a snack or whatever and you get in line to pay. You third in line and ready to pay. The clerk can't get the computerized whatever to do whatever for the customer up front who is spending his lottery ticket winnings on .......more lottery tickets! You wait .......and wait................and wait. Try to smile and wait some more. Thinking all the while you could have bought her a new computer whatever and installed it by now. Then things finally clear up and the next person wants to buy about 5 money orders. And.....you guessed it, the clerk can't get the computer whatever to compute again so you are back on hold again.

Alrighty now, how do you keep yourself from copping a big bad attitude toward everyone because.........your brilliant!

Sorry so long winded but you know what I mean? How do you keep from getting a big head about your success when you have to deal with life's little challenges?
