Keep matters in suspense.
Successes that are novel win admiration.
Being too obvious is neither useful nor tasteful.
By not declaring yourself immediately you will keep people guessing, especially if your position is important enough to awaken expectations.
Mystery by its very arcaneness causes veneration.
Even when revealing yourself, avoid total frankness, and don't let everyone look inside you. Cautious silence is where prudence takes refuge. Once declared, resolutions are never esteemed, and they lie open to criticism. If they turn out badly, you will be twice unfortunate.
If you want people to watch and wait on you, imitate the divinity.
