Have you ever read or heard criticism of yourself and concluded, "They're right!" That happens to me when internet trolls call me arrogant. If having confidence in myself, not blaming others for my problems and taking responsibility for my decisions means I am arrogant, then the trolls are right. I am not the only person to embrace the label. American sportscaster and journalist Howard Cosell once wrote, "Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff.
