You are not what you think you are. You are what you do. Some people are embarrassed when they tell others what they can do and then fail. Others surprise by doing more than they thought they could do. Some over sell, others under sell themselves. If you focus on what you do, you don’t have much time to think about who you are. Your actions will speak for you. You wouldn’t trust anyone who said ‘You can trust me’. You wouldn’t believe someone who said ‘I don’t mean to be critical’. Let your behaviour do the talking. The only time you can behave is in the present so focus on what you are doing now and do it as well as you can.
