We not arguing lmao we just saying you using the wrong word

Cocky and conviction aren’t the same. They’re similar, but not the same.

The best way to know that you're acting out of conviction and not resentment or arrogance (based on a feeling of certainty), is to state why your behavior is right and moral. If your answer has conviction, it will embody your deeper values. If it's resentful or arrogant, it will devalue someone else.

I got cockiness from Lyles early on. But the interview after he won gold showed he has some humbleness.

It's amazing how a full stadium is there waiting several minutes for a pole vault. USA doesn't respect track & field nearly enough...

Such a random sport in Olympics.
