Egoist

Egoist, though I am, and, yes, I stress the need for and approve of unending self-assurance as central to insisting upon self-realizing despiste the odds, in spite of intense communal counter-pressure, in spite of setbacks.

Having stated that, it is important that a little caution and a little humility accompany our teeming self-assurance. It is helpful to recall that Hitler too demonstrated  unending self-assurance.
