Fake It Like Jackson

I was in the bus the other day, and overheard:


“I tell you something, but you don’t go about telling people.”


“Ok…”


“The card was drawn by me. But we wanted the card to be a group present, so we didn’t mention that. But you don’t tell ****(whoever that ‘lucky’ card receiver is) ah.”



I don’t know about you, but I find that the need for humility has bred a society of hypocrites. We know there is a certain protocol to follow, but following it often undermines our efforts, so we try to cover up by a simple “Sh… It’s still a secret, so I am not announcing my ability.”


If you really want to let people acknowledge your work, JUST SAY IT. There is no need to hush the listener up, because you are worthed it!!!! Having said that, I do admit I am not one a humble person:P



However, if you do feel it inappropriate to let others know the greatness you’ve contributed to this world, then just !ZIP! Don’t go about acting all shy and humble by pretending to hush people up over what you have just said.



Clearly, I have chosen the label “proud” over “hypocritical”.
