"Ce n'est pas de la vantardise si vous pouvez le prouver"
— Mike Tyson
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says something impressive about themselves but can actually prove it's true, it's not showing off. For example, imagine a student says they are the best in math. If they always get top grades and win math competitions, then they're not just boasting—they have proof to back it up. In sports, if a player claims they are the best on the team and consistently performs well, their actions support their words. This means that confidence backed by real achievements isn't just empty talk. If you have done something well, it's okay to say so, as long as you can show evidence of your success. This teaches us to be sure of our accomplishments and not be afraid to speak about them, provided we have the proof.
