Do Not Blow Your Own Trumpet

“The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.” 

― Criss Jami

Wait: do not blow your own trumpet. Humans are many a time tempted to blow their own trumpets. It comes as a way of wanting to show off either an achievement or anything else we have done. So, in other words, this will be a way of boasting to others. We boast so as to make others envy or admire us. It is not a good thing bragging to others because they will not be impressed by you. In the society, we have such people who are very fond of showing off. Boasting is a vice that will help destroy your public image.

Do Not Boast To Others

So whatever kind of achievement you have gotten lately, let others praise you. Do not risk destroying your trumpet, oops, I mean your public image. Even if others do not praise you because of what you have done, be contended. Someone somewhere has noted what you have done.

Proverbs 27:2

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
