Lately, bluster, brashness and sheer loudness has become almost synonymous with strength.
This is a false equivalency. Look at metals. Gold is a bright, shiny, attention-getting metal. But when put to the test, it turns out to be quite soft.
Iron, on the other hand, is by comparison, almost inconspicuous and, well, dull. But it’s extremely strong and durable.
In the long run, it’s better to be iron.
