- allthecybers 7y agoI find this to be true. Some folks fresh out of school, feel like they need to be constantly vocal to have influence and make a name for themselves. They also can bring strong but untested opinions to the table without the experimental data to back it up. Why do I relate this? Because I was guilty of it myself when I was younger and just starting out. However, as I've grown and gained experience I have become more pragmatic and willing to let my good work speak for itself, reserving my more vocal moments for the times I have most impact.
