Confidence

TWENTY CEOs of IT companies, each from a different country, board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless technology: It is a completely unmanned aircraft.

Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that his company's software is running the aircraft's Automatic Pilot System.

ONE by one, nineteen of the CEOs leave the aircraft, each offering a different excuse, some lame and laughable.

Now that is obviously lack of confidence.

The Nigerian CEO alone remains on board the jet, smiling and sipping his tea. Asked why he is so certain his software will run the totally computer-controlled plane, he replies : This plane will never take off !"

...That , my friend, is confidence!!!
