Brag

Not many people can stand braggarts. They tend to push people away. The conquests of a person ought to be guarded with humility. As my father, of blessed memory, used to say, “A person should not wear their resume on their shirt sleeve.”

“…a common operator boasted repeatedly about his elaborate all-electric kitchen. After a week of this talk, the man arrived home one evening to find two tons of coal delivered to his front door. The receipt was marked by A. Hitchcock.”   - From The Life of Alfred Hitchcock
