Modesty is a virtue and a wise move, because there are people outside.

Modesty makes people progress, because only by recognizing their own shortcomings will they try to make up for them.

Modesty should also be measured, and excessive modesty becomes hypocrisy.

People can't be modest regardless of the occasion, they need to show themselves, and they can't be modest when selling themselves.
