“Don't be humble... you're not that great”
— Golda Meir
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people pretend to be humble or modest even when they don't sincerely mean it, which can come off as disingenuous or fake. This quote encourages individuals to be real about their abilities and not to overestimate their greatness. For example, if someone is fairly good at cooking but keeps saying they are a brilliant chef, it might make others feel that they are showing off. Instead of putting on an act, it's better to honestly acknowledge one's own strengths and areas for improvement. By doing so, people can genuinely connect with others and work on truly becoming better at what they do. In essence, it's about being honest with yourself and others about where you stand.
