What about those who are too daring? Is there a way to shut them up?
I am afraid that is not normally possible. (At least from my experience.) I have found those who dare too much (and succeed) tend to be the most vocal regardless if success was due to skill, luck, or pure coincidental timing. Those who dare to much and fail don’t tend to speak (let alone brag) at all. So, they are as quiet as those who never dare.
