Two very different things. Something a lot of people get confused about just like i am right now. What i think is many people try to exude confidence through arrogance but at the same time there are people who considers oneself very confident but at the same time grounded enough to never be arrogant. The difference between the two, i think is simple. When you are confident about something no matter how much sure you are - you never insult or degrade anyone, you look around yourself and diplomatically you listen and then you behave the same way you want to be treated. When you’re arrogant, you tend to be insecure of your surroundings and tend to offend others.
Recently, i asked my colleague about how to define "a person who is down to earth", her first thought was "one who does not show arrogance" .. so here it was, question that was bubbling in my mind since long, just popped out. While she was herself confused about this, but somehow .. she just out of nowhere said ... "You have to be something to be arrogant about" .. Gosh .... i was like WHAT, i think somehow that was a very simple way of understanding what does down to earth means .. You are proud about who you are but to show arrogance you need to be someone to be proud about and i dont think there is any scope for someone to be arrogant or lets say in very subtle terms "pride" unless there is someone ahead of you.
I think i have got an answer to what arrogance is ... or may be there is some more scope for it ........ Till the time i hope i get my answers right
