Your credentials mean nothing if nobody knows about them. The speaker's son told him people recognize you for what they know about you, not what you actually are. You have to show your work.
Whether you believe or not, whether you accept or not, but tomorrow is the day where people want to see you, people want to believe you, people want to accept you. And that they will do only when you perform. I remember my son used to tell me, when I came here, at the time I was thinking that I am highly educated, highly experienced, so I will be getting one of the best jobs. Which is available. But my son very clearly said, Papa, you are not recognized by what you are, you are recognized by what people know you. So whatever knowledge or qualification or the expertise you have, it's of no value unless and until you show it, you tell it, you pass it to others. And other people, they know about you.
