Sharing Success Stories or Bragging?

There are two schools of thought that I have seen compete when it comes to talking about success. 

1) Don’t tell others about the successes you are having because it will make them feel bad, envious, jealous, or think you are bragging and are prideful and that you only think about money and success.

Or

2) share with others the success you are having so that they can see that it is possible. It does no one any good for you to play small. 

What has your experience been?

ON BP that's what half this site is sharing success and how to be better.. folks are motivated by these types of post

" Hey I am 22 and I have 4,000 doors and I got them in 19 months and now don't have to work"

or Hey I sent out 5k worth of post cards and never closed a deal now I am broke.. what do I do !

Off of this site.. I guess I am old school.. never talk politics religion or money .. unless specifically asked and then very generally..
