Feeling sad today because everyone is so confident with their dignity while mine fluctuates by the day.
Bragging about not cheating but I did several times on history. Granted that everyone else did too and I most likely cheated the least in that school system. But that wasn't an excuse, just described what happened.
My reason for not cheating was not at all about dignity either. I thought if I didn't have a correct assessment of my ability, that would not help me to improve. If you to follow the lifestyle of being not as good as you advertise, you would have to be a people-pleaser as well. That seems like a torture to me. But if you have a real ability to back it up, you can be as smug as you want.
