It has been said that it’s not boasting if you can really do it. This
may be true, but a far more persuasive argument is made when you do it
first and talk about it later. Besides, good things that are said about
you always carry more weight when they are said by someone other than
yourself. When you find yourself tempted to wax eloquent about your
achievements, force yourself to pause for a moment, take a deep breath,
and ask someone else about their achievements.
