“You have to let your preparation and your work speak for itself”
— Joe Burrow
Simplified Meaning:
When you work hard and get ready for something, your efforts should show through in the results you achieve. Think of a student studying for a big exam. If they have prepared well by reviewing their notes, practicing problems, and understanding the material, their exam score will reflect that preparation. They don't need to tell everyone how much they studied; their grade will show it. In the same way, if you're training for a race, the time and energy you put into your practice runs will be clear in your performance on race day. There's no need to boast about all the hours you've spent running; crossing the finish line shows your dedication. Applying this to your life means focusing on doing the work and being confident that your progress and success will demonstrate your efforts. This approach helps build trust and respect, as people can see the results of your hard work without you having to point it out.
