I should be more humble.

So I was reading yet another Minecraft editorial and the new info that stuck out to me was how humble Notch was, and how from everything about the way the game was presented starting from the website comes the conveyance that this was a simple but deep game, made by a simple but good guy.  Here's a person who is enjoying rockstar status but not acting like a rockstar.

Me?  I'm nobody.  And yet why the hell do I always have to have a tinge of arrogance in my posts?  Why am I so hell-bent on conquering the world?  Maybe it's because I'm so desparately trying hard to achieve something that stands out in the sea of mediocrity.  I used to have low self-esteem, so maybe this is the pendulum swinging in the opposite direction.

The biggest realization I had that I'm nobody was when I stopped being helpful in an online forum I used to be so active in.  I expected people will miss my presence and my help but guess what?  They didn't.  Oh well.  (But just because I ceasing being proactive didn't mean that I should adopt an asshole or troll mentality).

I have to become more like Notch.  Maybe not in skill (it's impossible), but in attitude.  Or another alternative is to become anonymous then only come out of the woodwork if there's success and someone wants an interview (I wish.).

In any case, from now on I'm just going to talk about the project or any larger topic of interest.
