Confidence

Confidence ignores "No Trespassing" signs.   It is as if he doesn't see them.  He is an explorer, committed to following his own direction.   

He studied mathematics in France and still views his life as a series of experiments.  The only limits he respects are his own.  He is honest and humble and very funny.   

After all of these years, his sister doesn't understand why he still ice skates with Doubt.
