We’re often reluctant to go about tooting our own horn; we’re discouraged from doing so. When we do, it often has a way of coming back to haunt us. A man was honored by receiving an honorary doctorate at a major university. When he was introduced to the audience, the announcer said, “A very

A recent self-promotional ad in an advertising trade publication brags, "Any channel can deliver eyeballs. But how many can include hearts and minds?"
