Just because one doesn't talk (or rather, brag) about ...
- the thousands of dollars you give away to charities annually; others assume you do not give any at all
- work experiences with some of the top guns in MNCs; others assume you have never worked in the corporate world
- paper qualifications; others assume you have none and just got lucky
- achievements and aspirations; others assume you are a loser
- choosing to delay important actions before executing them at a more suitable time; others assume you were incapable all those while
- current earnings; others assume you are on the dole or welfare
So why keep quiet and not spell it all out to the world?
Humility is a dying trait - some people prefer to keep it alive.
Ooops, I'm hungry, time to eat the left over nasi lemak I made last night.
