I also do pat myself on the back when something goes right. But is there really something wrong with that?!?! I dont think so. The way I see it is a NBA player doesny make every shot he takes but when he does there is some joy either within himself or his fans/teammates. For me (us), I feel when I use my techniques its as if im making a basket. I'm not perfect and do not speak perfectly every time I use my techniques but a basketball player doesnt make all of his shots either!
