At Christmas we visited family in Chicago. I think we were talking about video games, when Grandson Alex chimed in and very unassumingly and reasonably said, "I have skills."
And that is very true. Alex does have skills. But it was the way he said it....not bragging, just with a child's self-confidence. It was a simple statement of fact.
What happens to our self-confidence as we progress to adulthood? We all have skills. We just need to find them again.

"Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." William Butler Yeats
