Actions, not words, are the greatest means of self- praise.

There are times when you will be asked to put yourself forward, to compete for a position or a contract, and you will have to speak about your accomplishments. Naturally, you will want to put the best foot forward. Be certain, however, that when you do so, you are confident that honest inquiry will support what you say about yourself. If your actions have been wise and responsible, the record will show this. Leaders in any organization are those who say, “Let’s get going. Let’s do something rather than wait around to see what happens.” When your past actions demonstrate that you are a person who accepts responsibility and shows others the way, your career and relationships will benefit you accordinglyhttp://www.naphill.org/posts/tftd/thought-for-the-day-monday-july-11-2011/?utm_source=NHF+Email+Subscribers&utm_campaign=1a0eacaa99-TFTD_EMAIL&utm_medium=email
