What does it mean to keep a low profile in personal life but be proactive in one’s work? It would be best to give an example.

It’s useless; you won’t promote yourself, so just stay put honestly! I’ll give you a small reward to appease you. The advantages of being high-status are all about promoting oneself; such people often visit their leaders’ homes.
It means not being ostentatious in one’s behavior, but making sure to publicize what one has done. For example, at work, you can be honest, avoid complaining and talking too much, but after completing your tasks you should regularly inform your supervisor about them, so that everyone can see how busy you are and how serious you take your work.
It is usually before promotions and major rewards
When you’re working, make sure everyone knows you’re busy; when you’re not working, no one will notice your presence
Be low-key in posture, in mindset, in behavior, and in speech; be high-key in thoughts and in attention to details. Whatever you reject is what you need to learn. Look at the inner self from the outside, and look at yourself through the eyes of others. Only through others can you come to know your true self. You judge others based on what kind of person you are. If you can’t tolerate other people’s flaws, you can’t tolerate your own. You are attracted to people who reflect what is inside you. What you exclude from the outside, you also exclude from the inside. If you restrict others, you will also be restricted. The more you hate, the more bound you are; the more you love, the freer you are.
Be low-key: Being low-key makes it easier for you to get along with your colleagues. Being low-key means sticking to one’s own role and not overstepping boundaries. One should not concern themselves with matters beyond their scope of responsibility. Being low-key appears steady, and leaders prefer it. Do things in a visible manner: do more things that can be seen. It’s of course good to work quietly and unnoticed. But to advance in society, you need to let people know what you have done. When faced with honor, step forward; when faced with difficulties, take action.
Learn to fill in the gaps; while doing one’s own job well, also ensure smooth coordination with the related departments, always keeping the company being served as the ultimate goal
A person’s life is about walking; the messier the terrain, the deeper the marks left behind. On the path forward, one is like a pendulum, constantly striking oneself and reminding others as well. Handle things like a ruler; only by being upright oneself can one measure others. If you keep a low profile, you will become more steady with each passing time; if you act in a prominent manner, you will get better and better with each attempt.
