There is no room in aviation for arrogance. There is however, a slim
line between confidence, ability, and arrogance. The CFI who knows the
difference between these things is a flight instructor. Those who don't
are not worthy of the certificate.

As a CFI you should have the ability to teach a monkey to fly an
airplane. You have confidence if you know you can teach a monkey to fly
an airplane. Arrogance is actually trying to teach a monkey to fly an
airplane. :-)


Nah. Arrogance is signing the monkey off for the checkride :-)
