Be gentle and modest
Gentleness and modesty are divine qualities. Let them show in how you speak and how you carry yourself.
Strength does not need a loud voice. Gentleness and modesty appear in Kṛṣṇa’s list of divine qualities, and they make a person easy to approach. Speak a little softer than you need to, and take a little less credit than you could.
