“Those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak“
Speak in this context means “tell you I am good at X”
If I have to tell you I’m funny, I’m probably not funny but if I demonstrate it by making you laugh - then probably funny.
Amount of actual speaking around X isn’t super correlated with how good you are at X. Eg marketing X isn’t the same as being good at X.
- CM30 3y agoOkay that's a fair point. Anyone who boasts about how good they are at something should probably be treated skeptically to say the least. Kinda like how any politician that says they're some pillar of morality turns out to be anything but that. Purely providing advice about something or marketing your skills isn't quite the same thing.
