Bragging is not an attractive trait, but let's be honest. A man who catches a big fish doesn't go home through an alley.
Conceit is bragging about yourself. Confidence means you believe you can get the job done.
Be stirring as the time; be fire with fire. Threaten the threat'ner, and outface the brow Of bragging horror. So shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviors from the great, Grow great by your example and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution.
