It has a lot to do with self-awareness, too. If you knew how good you really were(n't) you wouldn't be so arrogant.<br /><br />Your post reminded me of this oldie-but-goodie:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn1Qolv4ntQ" alt="It's Hard To Be Humble" rel="nofollow">It's Hard to Be Humble</a>Nick Smithhttp://advanceyourslides.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35758167.post-67614561988677408552010-12-10T13:45:28.884-08:002010-12-10T13:45:28.884-08:00Thanks for your comment, Anke!

I did have a sense of holiday spirit when I wrote this. :-) I love my audiences and I never take them for granted, no matter how small or informal.

It is ...Nice post! And all in the season’s spirit.<br /><br />It is amazing how much energy we can get from our audience. <br /><br />The other day I showed a student a test video tape of myself made in an empty room. Something was missing.<br /><br />You laugh much more when you work with us, she said.<br /><br />That is what an audience will do to/for you in return for a good talk. <br /><br />Thx for reminding us.<br /><br />Season’s greetings!<br /><br />AnkeAnke Tröderhttp://teachandtrain.denoreply@blogger.com
