proper but a desirable mode in conversation. It can convert the urge to self-glorification into a considerable conversational asset. How a person talks about himself and what he says is a more direct index to the type of character and personality he has than any one other thing. Talking of one's self always requires sense and judgment. A person will reserve private matters for confidential friends, and his ideas for people he knows well enough to infer theirs. He will talk about himself in impersonal matters only enough to encourage others to do likewise and to offer a springboard for more significant topics. But above all he will not go around slyly insinuating self-glorification into his anecdotes. |
