To face an adversity by seeking the opportunity within it is a real great talent and blessing. Here I go with a wonderful quote from Socrates

“The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.”

Nice thought.
How many of us really try to appear a particular way?
How often do I try to appear all self-developed, and smart, and spiritual?
And how often is it all just a bit false?
Please again, read the quote: “The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.”
Just throw this set of questions on you:

1. What do you want to be?
2. What you really are?
3. And why don’t you try to really be it?
4. How you wish others to be?

The real self of ours is neither what we think nor what people tell us to do but surely in a random fashion what we are known for.
