“He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.”
— Confucius

Simplified Meaning:
When someone talks in a bragging or arrogant way, people won't trust what they say easily. Think about a person at work who always boasts about their skills but often fails to deliver good results. Because they brag so much, their colleagues start doubting their abilities, even when they might be telling the truth sometimes. On the other hand, if a person is humble and lets their actions speak for themselves, others are more likely to believe them and value their words. Being modest helps build trust and credibility. So, to be taken seriously, it's important to speak with humility and back up your words with actions.
