There's a Buddhist story, about an old monk teaching a young one.

The young one, goes outside and the old one is chopping wood. The old monk tells how amazing he is at it The young one immediately asks why are you bragging? It's against the teachings.

The old monk replied, I'm not and proceeds to perfectly split five pieces. Describing your skill actually is not bragging is the moral. Or something like that
