If You Have to Keep Saying You're the Best, You're Probably Not

Intel Brief

Reputation isn't something we can claim. It's confirmed in the mouths of others.

If you have to keep saying you’re the best… you’re probably not.

My dad used to tell me, “the person who talks the most about having something probably has the least of it.”

And ain’t that the truth.

If you actually are great at what you do, why the need to keep announcing it?

If you REALLY are the best, wouldn’t other people already be saying it about you?

Reputation isn’t something we can claim. Gotta earn it.

It’s confirmed in the mouths of others.

“Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.” — Proverbs 27:2
