The Price Of Overconfidence

Spare a thought for poor old Charlie Chaplin.
At the height of his fame he entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest.
Thinking it would be hilarious to win
He didn’t even make the finals.
We’ve all had those moments where we’ve been convinced that we had it ‘in the bag’.
Whether it was a job interview, a pitch or an account review, we took our success for granted and became complacent.
The price of success is eternal vigilance.

Don’t ever make the mistake of thinking that you know everything.
Because like Charlie, you may not even be the best version of yourself out there.
Now, Harry Hill lookalikes, that’s another story...
