SO MODEST

Dear Teachers,

1. Don't be so modest, other people will think that you're self-important.

- Is this ok to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

To say , yes-- but writing it requires better punctuation: 1. Don't be so modest ; other people will think that you're self-important. Also, the logic escapes me: modesty is lack of self-importance.
