Some reflection about self-promoting

Hot 8790 views. 2017-11-25 20:09

Last week, we learned an argumentative article, The Real Truth about Lies. In this article, Randy Fitzgerald draw a conclusion that “Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons”. The conclusion does not catch my eyes, but the self-promoting reason does.

As a result, I did pay attention to other’s words, especially boy’s. But the more I heard, such as I was admitted by some very important organization with strict hiring demands, the more incredibly ashamed I would be, as I had such speech as well.

Last week, I was invited to a meeting for fresh men, and after a lower class man’s speech I was supposed to give a prestation. But when he finished, I was abruptly speechless, because he did excessively overvalue and magnify his job. I kept silent about the topic to modest avoiding being embarrassed.

Now, I learn to shut up, because who you are and what you do speak much more convincingly.

From my perspective, It is common for people to tell some self-promoting lies.Sometimes, It would not cause some serious consequence.

In fact, I am interested in listening to others' boast. It is like watching a funny performance.

I think if you want to promote yourself, you should find reasonal ways. You are good enough and I support you.

I think whether you can accept these self-promoting lies always depends on your behaviours and your confidence. A perfect person doesn't care what he said about self-promoting lies.

yes, self-promoting means his job has been finished, what he does is just to make it more beautiful and admirable.

Hey,dude.You know what. Almost  every man have told lies in their life. And I confess that I have told many fibs in the past even when I was a little kid. But I seldom consider telling lies as a severe lackness in morality. However,it depends on what kind of falsehoods you tell. It seems that I haven't tell lies like earth-shattering just little white lies. Sometimes to protect myself from scolding or spare other's feeling.

Lying is a subject that requires a lot of skill and learning, and it can play a big role when we protect ourselves and interact with people
