Think not that you can sway the mob with soft and gentle pleading;
Be on your toes, be firm and energetic.
Unless you strut and learn to let your chest have full inflation
The talents you may have will get you little admiration.

Observe the man who wins applause : who leads where others follow;
He may advance a foolish cause, his bragging may be hollow;
But by the fierceness of his threats, and by rip-snorting capers
He makes the mob believe and gets his name in all the papers.

It matters little if at all how wise you are or able;
Your worth will be considered small unless you pound the table;
Truth claims attention only when it has become dramatic
So in saying five and five are ten be noisy and emphatic.

If modesty within you lies, get rid of that affliction;
Tell other people you are wise and tell them with conviction.
The boast you make may not be true but go the limit; yell it.
For others knowing less than you, will take it as you tell it.
