The foolish proclaim their qualifications;
the wise keep them secret within.
A straw floats on the surface of water,
but a precious gem sinks to the depths.
Those with little learning show great pride.
Grown wise, they are quiet.
Torrents always make much noise,
but the ocean seldom roars.
— Sakya Pandita, A Precious Treasury

It is so right; quite opposite to local culture which, in my oursider’ opinion, requires self-marketing and public demonstrating of licensed qualifications.
