"You know that it doesn't just happen overnight, right?"
"I do. But I have time."

It won't be easy, and you will have to get used to the feeling of not being the most amazing force in the room. I get the general idea from you that such things are unacceptable to the current you."
"That is not true," Ted argued. "I am humble when needed, but fake humility is a crime like no other, it is atrocious."
