"謙虚になるな……あなたはそれほど素晴らしくない。"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people try too hard to seem modest or humble, but doing this can come off as insincere. It may appear like they are pretending to be less skilled or impressive than they really are. Picture someone who is very good at painting but always says their work isn't that good, just to hear others praise them. Instead, it's better to be honest about your abilities. If you are good at something, acknowledge it without boasting. This way, you stay genuine and avoid artificial modesty, which can actually make others respect you less. So, be truthful about your strengths and weaknesses without feeling the need to downplay yourself too much.
