Hermit Poet’s Comments: Just because a person talks a lot or brags does not mean that they are knowledgeable on the subject. People who understand what they are doing do not need to verbally convince others of their brilliance. In my experience, a skilled individual will mostly talk little, concentrate, and complete the task with precision.
