One of the greatest biases that has ever plagued man is overconfidence. Many times, what seems like a positive thing might end up being the very thing that cripples you and brings you down. And what makes it worse is that you might go into it, thinking that you’re doing the right thing for yourself. Not knowing that you’re basically walking right into your own downfall. This is something that we have to consider, especially how we’ve seen it happen to way too many people.
Sometimes, it’s good to admit to yourself that you’re not good enough for something. As a matter of fact, it’s necessary to admit when you can’t do something. Do not put yourself where you will only end up in a situation where you keep shooting yourself in the foot, every attempt you make to get out of the mess will only end up making things worse for yourself. And most of the time, the best way to get this done is usually to simply let the right man do the job.
What’s inspiring all this talk? Right now in my country, a certain billionaire is in a sort of fight with a certain actress who is also his wife. And it’s been a series of mudslinging. Sadly, though, for every mud thrown, only those thrown by the billionaire seem to be sticking, and even worse, the actress seems to be making matters worse for herself.
As most marital disputes go globally, they always tend to use their kids as weapons. One parent will threaten to keep the kids from the other parent, and so it goes. I made a post talking about something like this earlier. In all this, the parents never really consider the well-being of the children in question, they just focus on doing things that will hurt the other parent. And withholding the children from their parents will always be a sensitive point to exploit.
Well, in this case, what started as a marital spat is now turning into something that could torpedo the wife’s chances of ever having access to her kids. While the billionaire has been smartly engaging her, carefully picking out his attacks, the wife has been everything but strategic. As a matter of fact, she’s the one who seems to be handling the case. Many people have clamored for her to hire the services of a lawyer, but so far she has refused. And that has only made it worse for her.
At this point, through her own social media accounts, she has admitted to doing a number of things that will make any sane judge question her ability to be a good mother. And the reason is clear, she’s acting from a place of pain and emotion. From what I’ve seen of the matter, her opps are taking advantage of this. Pushing her buttons and making her say things that only make the pit deeper and deeper for her.
I believe that if she had hired a lawyer at the start of it, or if she even had a social media manager to handle her accounts, things would have gone very differently. Sadly though, her own pronouncements are even now overshadowing the more heinous allegations she had levied against her husband. Or former husband.
I’m not really here to share an opinion on this issue. It’s not like my opinion will change whatever it is both of them decide is the best way to fix all this. I’m writing all this to remind you why overconfidence can also be the shovel with which you bury yourself. You’re not that good, sometimes, it’ll be best to just let someone handle something. There’s a reason why doctors don’t treat family members, or police officers can’t investigate cases that involve their own families. Even lawyers have to hire their own lawyers from time to time. As a writer and Professional Editor, I can’t edit my own books. I have to hire someone to do that. Hell, even the Pope will have to go to another Bishop or Priest for his own confession.
What am I saying? There are times when it would be right to just let someone handle things for you. Especially when it’s something that makes you emotional and messes up your mind. Because if you act out and make a mistake, it will always be on record that you did something terrible. The court won’t recognize “I did it because I was angry and not thinking straight”, they will only see “I did it”.
So, I hope you get the message.
The case you mentioned I think we should not waste our precious time for such kind of cheap people as they are not going to give us any benefit. But I must agree that we are not so good and it's better not to be overconfident because it can only make us arrogant which is not good for us.
