，是关于「吹嘘」的讨论。
尽管没人喜欢卖弄的人，但最近一项研究表明，过于谦虚可能会错失良机。在掌握处理方法的前提下适当「吹嘘」可能也是不错的选择。

Most etiquette mavens give self-celebration a bad rap. Debrett’s—the British bible on good manners—calls boasting “a childish character trait.” It counsels, instead, to “resort wherever possible to understatement.” The 17th-century mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal similarly observed in his “Pensées”: “If you want people to think well of you, do not speak well of yourself.” Parents everywhere seem inclined to agree. I was certainly told quite a few times that “no one likes a showoff.”
According to recent research on social connection, however, this well-worn advice is mistaken. Sure, there are risks to tooting your own horn too loudly or too often. But there are also dangers in hiding your achievements, and false modesty is often worse than shameless self-praise. In many cases, it is better to brag. The trick is in knowing how to do it.
