Phony Professionalism is...Just that

I'm not one to put on masks although I admit that I have met many who wear them quite often. It has to do with the attitude one is displaying. I'm not writing about any one of you personally,or professionally, nor directly or indirectly because, I am not in tune or associated with what you do in your field of professionalism. This is more of expression of the moment. I'm just blowing out some bubbles, if you will. I've met a few professional "phonys" in my lifetime. I probably have been one myself at other times, and since I am my own best critic I have to watch exactly how I carry myself as well. I'm not trying to be something I'm not. Generally, I like what I do and I feel that I show professionalism in my speech, walk and character. Even with all of that I look for ways I can improve and sharpen my skills. I resort to humility to keep me still when I think highly and proud. I look for points I need in self-improvement. I'm often careful to be never overly boastful. I'd rather boast on others. I know someone that is totally opposite and they are exceedingly boastful and they talk for hours about themselves. Lots of time I know it's totally phony. I'm a good listener.
