Don't fake it!

 


There is a common saying that goes, "fake it till you make it". I have a different view about this. I believe instead of one faking it; you can just package it. Faking it means you are not just lying but also impersonating. 


Packaging means you are giving a good outlook to something or about someone. A good example is when you get your first job or business opportunity. You do not want people to know you are a novice, so you package like you have years of experience and try as much as possible to offer the best. This is perfectly understandable.

Faking it implies, you know you do not have a degree, but you still apply, then they give you the job. Fortunately, you become good at it but then someone is suspicious of you and starts to look too closely and discovers you are a fraud. 

I know this sounds like a Nigerian movie but I rather you package than fake it. It is better to be the person that oversold themselves than the one that lied to get the job, contract, or even get the girl or guy. You do not have to lie just be yourself.
