Don't Fake It

I'm not a fan of anything (or anyone) that's fake.

"Fake it 'til you make it" is a horrible phrase.

While there's hope that you will, indeed, "make it" one day, it's the idea you have to do so under the guise of pretense that doesn't work for me.

Make the honest effort based on what you know.

Trust who you are.

Be your best self and put that forward.

Lean on others.

Learn from others.

Fail early and fail often.

Remember failure doesn't have to be fatal.

Don't quit.

Whatever you do, don't quit.

There's nothing fake about that kind of genuine attempt!

That's real.
