Talking About Our Accomplishments

As we make our way through the most pathetic few years in U.S. history, let me offer you the meme to the left. The person who posted this saw no irony, even though I wonder whom he would name as someone who actually did talk about his accomplishments?

Consider for a moment the following people: Johannes Gutenberg, Julius Caesar, Gautama Buddha, George Washington, Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Socrates, MLK, William Shakespeare, Charles Darwin, Alexander the Great, Galileo, Muhammad, Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Jesus Christ.

All reasonably accomplished people, I would argue. Now, does anyone, in their wildest dreams, believe that a single one of them went around talking about his achievements?
