Overview
False modesty isn't really honest, so don't feel guilty about embracing any praise that comes your way. Sure, you shouldn't run around shouting about how wonderful you are, but there's nothing wrong with admitting that you worked hard to accomplish whatever it is you're being lauded for. Playing the 'aw shucks' card will only undervalue your achievements and send a message that you weren't in charge, when in fact you knew exactly what you were doing the whole time.
