Modesty... A Lesson Learned

Modesty can be a great quality to have. No one likes an arrogant, cocky, asshole but no one takes into account the consequences that come from being too modest. One thing I've learned is that you can get looked over every time you try to get ahead if you don't step up and show that you know what you're doing is good, maybe even great! When you're trying to sell your ideas or work you need to be able to stand there and say, "What I create is great and I want everyone to know it!" Okay, yes, if someone compliments your work modesty can be good. You need to show confidence but also show gratitude for their appreciation of your work. The key here is to maintain a balance. In this world you need to show people that you whole-heartedly believe in what you do. Sometimes you confidence in your work will push your work a lot further than the work itself. So at the end of the day modesty is good but self confidence is better. Keep a healthy balance of both and career is bound to fly forward.
