It’s better to practice a little than talk a lot

This makes me think back to the days when I used to work at the stables.

You could see these people coming a mile away, we used to say they had all the gear and no idea.

They would swagger into the stables telling you elaborate stories about how they tamed wild stallions in outer Mongolia and that they have been riding for 30 years.

As soon as they got on the horse you could see they didn’t have a clue.

These people the ‘know it alls’ would normally be the ones catapulted from the horse at great speeds.

I always think it is better to be modest about your skills and then pleasantly surprise people, rather than talk your self up and disappointed them!
