    "Be yourself."

    Generally bad advice. Instead you should always "act interested, listen carefully, and fake approval". In the end no one wants to know what you really think. They only want to know what you can do for them.

      amen, we live in a world where people genuinely need the threat of hell to be decent and still cant manage it.

      If i were to be myself 24/7 there'd be a lot more carnage around :/

      "Be Yourself" is about the worst advice you can give to people. -- Mark Twain

      I used to carry that quote around in my wallet.
