"Where there is good discipline, there is order and where there is order, fortune is rarely lacking" Niccolo Machiavelli.

The secret behind self-promotion is to stop thinking about ourselves and focus on spreading ideas.
The reason that self-promotion works and self-adulation doesn’t is because self-promotion is the art of spreading ideas, concepts, and a greater vision. Self-adulation is just the promotion of accomplishments, deeds that have already been done.
