If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.
Stop bragging about your lack of sweat and effort in achieving your goals. Start bragging about how hard you work, how patient you've become.
The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.
Apparently, despite my awareness of its pejorative connotation, procrastinating is something I fall victim to quite frequently. I'm not proud of it; I'm just being honest.
I know who I am. I don't have to brag. I know what I contributed. I know what I did. You think you can do it better? Hey, go right ahead. The stage is yours.
Boast is always a cry of despair, except in the young it is a cry of hope.
I certainly understand that we're all trying to make a living, but I'm not thinking about that when I'm making it. And if that's your sole motivation, it's going to reflect that narcissistic greed, and you're going to hear it in the music.
I'm not a boastful person. I like my actions to speak for me.
I don't think you get successful to brag and throw what you have in the world's face. That's all private.
When boasting ends, there dignity begins.
