Insofar as the attitude part is concerned -- I've known many, many human beings over the years with attitude.  They were quite proud of themselves.  And I've also seen life & circumstances which were totally outside of their control take them down -- hard.  Both personally and publically.

There's confidence.....and then there's attitude.  It can be difficult to find the balance between the two.  The confident person is aware of what they can do: while keeping in mind that they remain 100% mortal -- just like everyone else.

The person with attitude flies high until something happens to them.  Which it inevitably does.

I well remember fans of Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson who literally worshipped those celebs in their heyday.  Phil Spector was hot stuff in his day, too.  At one time.

They all had lotsa attitude going for them.  At one time.
