“Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses.”

Brian Tracy

Simplified Meaning:

When you don't complain or give excuses, you appear more confident and strong. Imagine you accidentally spill coffee at work. Instead of explaining in great detail how it happened or why it was an accident, just clean it up and move on. By not reacting too much, you show control over the situation. For example, historical figures like Queen Elizabeth II rarely explained their actions or complained aloud. This made them seem composed and dependable. You can do the same in your life; if someone criticizes you unfairly, try not to get defensive. Trust that your actions speak for themselves. This approach helps you focus on what you can do better instead of worrying about others' opinions.
