       When we give the impression that we are somehow ‘better’ than others, that never goes over well. And if we stop and think about it, we know this truth from conversations that haven’t turned out how we’ve wanted them to in the end. If we brag as pertains to this and that, people are going to be turned off, and we are going to be basing our value toward others by referencing the externals—things we have obtained in the world. Certainly, we have more to give to our fellow bystander than bragging. The truth is, people take further notice of us when we display openness and honesty with them. One would think it would be the opposite, that if we try to impress others, that they in turn will in fact be impressed and truly turn out liking us. But we find this is not the case. All we really have to do to understand this better is to put ourselves in the other person’s shoes. What do we like to hear from others when we are conversing with them? It will be found that what is truly valued is that sense of humility, not pride.
