As someone who is happily in the second half of his life (possibly, if I take the ages at which my elders passed on, at the second half of the second half) I can only remember bits and pieces of my own youth. But, the fact is that when young we do tend to have a messianic approach to the issues confronting us not because of anything else but because of our own education and the constant drilling into our minds at school, in our films and in popular culture that suggests that we could achieve anything that we set our minds to. Unfortunately, in this exuberance, often, practicality is left out and irrational expectations take a major role, until the "arrogance" that led to these unrealistic expectations of our own selves, come crashing down and mellowing us in the bargain. 

In my opinion this is a good thing. Wise people have said down history that failures are stepping stones to success. The unreasonable expectations that lead to some temporary setbacks then become the cause for these stepping stones. Provided that we persist in shooting for the stars (as a popular song of my youth suggested) we would, at the very least, reach the peak of the mountains around us. Not quite a bad thing on the whole, then, wouldn;t you agree?

Thanks for a thought provoking post.

@tanushri, @swarajya
i dont refer to arrogance as a means of being rude or disrespectful, and it always has to be accompanied with knowing what the scope of your abilities is...how many of us liked to see the aggressive team india in the 20 20 matches? it is about being assertive, not rude, about reaching high, not stepping on toes

@subra @jaijui
thanks..and i quite agree with what u say

hi Tejasee,
i loved reading this   true all the way through  !! :)
with youth comes lack of experience , good health ,and  fiesty hormones ...
arrogance follows .
should be tempered with respect for elders and selective humility   ...
cheers

Arrogance bordering on supreme self-confidence helps as long as it doesn't hurt others! Yes, it is at times required with tempered moderation to steam oneself ahead. Well said!

Every one must have refinment to face the cruel world.There must be sufficient goodness to counteract the evil.The more a person is refined and cultured he may derive respect from society.One must be sophisticated in outlook and shun arrogance.
