It is poise not Pose

from the biography of William T Sherman (American general with Abraham Lincoln)

There are 2 types of people - First, who rise to fame and achievement through their belief in themselves;
and there is another kind - it is slow growth based on actual achievement. for the second type, success is a constant surprise - with a haunting sense of self-doubt, if it's not all a dream. in that doubt lies true modesty

for the first group, belief in themselves - is dependent on Ego, which is in fact nothing. Shakespeare called it thus - "Frailty, thy name is Ego"

my words:
Ego is a scaffolding made of spaghetti; don't rely on it to build your life!
