Kambuli tooting your own horn is not entirely bad sxb. A little Arrogance, narcissism & doucheness can go a long way in sealing the deal in many ways. I for one believe bragging rights be granted to a person for the following reasons:
-An Amazing Achievement
-Attaining something greatly desired by many people
-An unfortunate event that can be viewed as positive for different reasons.
Kambuli I suggest you read Peggy Klaus’ book, Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It.
Funny this thread reminded me of this quote:
