Being Confident..

A hypothetical situation where 20 CEOs from different countries 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 an uncrewed aircraft.

Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company's software
is running the aircraft's automatic pilot system.
Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different
type of excuse. The Malaysian CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming
very calm indeed.
Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight, he replies:
"If it is the same software that’s developed by my company's IT systems
department, this plane won't even take off!"

Now ...That is Confidence!
