How to suppress the urge to show off my intellect

I have an ingrained habit of subtly showing my intellectual superiority to my peers. Although I’ve managed not to come across as an asshole through my charm, I’ve noticed subtle hints of envy being expressed toward me.

As I’ve become more familiar with The 48 Laws of Power, I’ve come to realize the danger of appearing too far ahead of others. However, I’m still very careless when it comes to restraining myself from appearing too bright.

How can I better restrain my ego, avoid outshining others, and still attain the validation and rewards I deserve?
