<p>Scenario 1 Dialogue</p>

<p>Kelly: Wow James! You’re real smart; you’ll get a high score on the SATs!
James: Yeah I know, I’m just that great!</p>

<p>Wrong!!!^^ Arrogance!!</p>

<p>Same Scenario Dialogue</p>

<p>Kelly: Wow James! You’re real smart; you’ll get a high score on the SATs!
James: Yeah, hopefully if I study hard enough and by the grace of God.</p>

<p>Ding Ding Ding!..Looks like James have found himself a nice slice of “Humble” Pie!</p>

<p>see, If James can at least not respond or say comments that amps his status, then he can at least be perceived as modest, rather than arrogant.</p>
