‘A roaring lion kills no game’
Either you like it or hate it, every lion must roar. Why? It is natural. Nobody teaches a lion to roar, it is in-built. When a lion roars, every other animal in the forest tremble. In fact, they do not only trembles, they run away for survival. So, in most cases, our ancestors believe that the roaring of a lion hinders it from killing any game in the forest.
In several instances in life, most of us are tempted to brag about what we do, what we have, where we live and how successful we are. People usually brag about their educational qualification, profession, skills, religion, achievements and many other things because they feel they have what others do not have. Like the lion, it is natural for every human being to possess an ego that would enable one to differentiate oneself from others. So, if you have not discovered your ‘roaring identity’, check yourself, you may not be man enough.
What the ancestors have for us today is not that ‘lions kill no game’, but ‘a roaring lion kills no game’. If a lion chooses not to do other things but to roar, the lion may soon die of starvation. If a man decides not to do other things apart from bragging about himself, the man may soon lose people’s patronage.
It is better for us to focus on doing the right thing and allow our good works to do the bragging. People appreciate things or ideas that speak for themselves. Let your work, clients, achievements, people and idea speak for you, don’t just brag about them. People who make money from bragging are usually disappointed by nature.
