Focus on Hard Work to Get Things Done Without Showing Off
Most of us tend to belittle our accomplishments. Someone congratulates us, and we tell them: “Oh, there is nothing wrong with that.” We don’t want to appear boastful. But it’s okay to talk about your victories, and you can do it humbly by focusing on your hard work.
The next time someone compliments you, there is a better way to respond than just brush it off. Muse offers:
Talk about how you’re going to keep working harder (don’t stop there) Say , “I just had a great opportunity that, honestly, will challenge me like no previous position. I feel really motivated to prove to everyone that they made the right choice by hiring me. “
Of course, you will soften it or change it, depending on the conversation. But I love this advice because it shows that you value your achievement. He also emphasizes the fact that you are not only the luckiest and the best – you have worked for it. It is much easier for people to communicate and empathize with those who have worked hard to get what they deserve and are grateful for it.
