Climb a Mountain But Tell No One You Did It

Everyone accomplishes great things. However, not everyone handles those accomplishments the same ways.

I think it's best to accomplish great things and not tell a soul that you did it. One shouldn't do things with the goal of telling everyone about it; instead, one should accomplish great things and tell no one. Do things for the sake of doing them, not to tell other people.

You got an A on your midterm? That's great! You deserve to reward yourself.

The way you reward yourself is important, though. I think it's best to be humble about it and act like you do it all the time, instead of needing everyone to know how great you are because you did something great today. Instead of telling everyone, tell your best friend. Tell your girlfriend. Don't tell everyone on facebook so you can get recognition. An average person will need everyone to recognize and acknowledge their greatness; an excellent person will receive that recognition without having to tell everyone to acknowledge them
