So after hitting pay button for my $550 cell phone… I starting thinking about how over the top, frivoulous and arrogant I am with stuff like this.  Alot of things in my life are probably way too big, fast, expensive then they should be.  Other then the cell phone, you can point to my house.  Do Linh and I really need a 2100 sq ft house, with 3 rooms and bathrooms? [I can only poop so much]  Of course not.

But this isnt a spending problem, its not like I’m out of control or anything. And of course its not like we are poor or anything. So what is it? To me I think its a way of thinking, an attitude, or maybe a type of confidence. I have always tried to be the best, do the best, and to be around the best.  Career wise I know that Linh and I strive to move up and be respected.  That’s why we work our jobs with diligence, go the extra mile.  That is also why we go to school, even when the schooling we have is plenty for most people.

Alot of people call me arrogant, I routinely (jokingly) talk about how I’ll be my coworkers boss one day.  Of course I consider them friends, before coworkers.  Its not arrogance, its confidence. For those who dont understand that, arent being the best ever.  Thats ok for some people.  So I’ll just call it Go Big or Go Home.
