"Fake it till you make it" was brought to me during a work lecture and kept hearing it a lot at work. So I tried it. I found out "what a failure it was". It caused a massive overload of stress and anxiety that increased, trying to fulfill a lie! I was lying to myself and making the situation worse. Then I realised what a rotten idea! Reality was best! "So your in a Crap situation, deal with it the best you can was better"!
Actually the journey is most important, and when you do that shift you don't feel so bad when things does not go your way🌸
Ahh, yes. Nothing says "authentic" like a motivational speaker.
I was studying and follow a very difficult education with 3 seperate sections. Marketing, Standbuilding and Shoppingwindow-decoration (designing, creating, presenting, administering.)
When we were told to make 100 designs, for tomorrow, many of us groaned angrily and started sketching. I worked all night and came back to the teacher exhausted with a pack of paper.
"I have 54 designs.." I said in all honesty. "I put time and work in..I thought of every design, they're well-made, but there are 54."
He answered; 'You know what you need to do then. Make another 46. You are now behind on your classmates.."
He checked the rest of the class, who all claimed there were 100, but none were numbered and some quickly flicked through them.
Turns out they had copied each others work and designs from the internet. Plus, some were made close together and therefore looked like two, but were in fact one (like a flower and a petal.)
So, I was being punished for working properly and had to do extra work that weekend, and the teacher didn't even look at the sketches when I was finished.
I was being taught that quantity was more important than quality. And that paying the man at the copymachine to horizontally mirror the images (to get an extra 10 "new" sketches in) was fine.
People said; 'I worked all weekend" and instead, paid the wood-cutter to build their presentation-table. People said; 'I gathered a stack of pictures' and instead, had paid their sister to do it for them.
But since the teachers didn't care, nobody was caught and everyone knew they were faking it, except for me.
I was brought up with honesty and hard work being important values. So I handmade everything I was told to handmake. And I sketched everything with effort and time, not for quantity.
Luckily I can assure you that I do not live by these things now. I put lots of effort and time in my work and it is greatly appreciated. All attention to detail is perfect and nothing is wonky or 'quickfixed' or faked.
And théy didn't learn a thing from their work. Since they didn't make it themselves. I still remember the skills I gained through the work and I can use those skills for myself and my work now.
Love the no bullshit approach!
I am accomplished poet, and I don't look the part cause I don't got time to fake it until I made it. I made it the moment I became a master poet. There is alot of fake writers on YouTube, they try to look like they are real successful master writers and only giving prompts but their work is not original and they don't teach HOW to do it, like I do. My work is proof that I ain't taking it. 😊
I do it out of being scared.
Prentend being who u wanna be and one day u‘ll forget u‘re pretending -Sneako
Look I get what ur saying but it’s the easiest way to become who u wanna be and maybe that is the problem. The fact that it is the EASIEST way but what do I know
"Fake it till you make it" is the blind faith– I know very few–wait, I know no one who is renting tuxedos and pretending they have shit. Sure, they are out there–but I think the epitome of the saying has more to do with the blind faith, positivity, and just "going with the flow" –which is what people like about the saying. It has helped me, for sure. It's all about balance when it comes down to it. If you don't have the confidence, outgoingness, whatever–fake it, and it will come. But remember to also not be a complete fake–remember where you came from.
fake it to you make it just means practice to you become it
Truth! Thank you Gary!
How can you tell if someone is faking it? I've definitely been fooled before!
This video is for all the people in the comments right now lmao annoying af
Thats what i'm doing boss 🔥🔥Never have i ever felt this unstoppable.. 👍
In my former profession, this behavior was rampant. I’m glad to be in a place where I can enjoy the journey.
Good point with how it only fools other losers. It’s just a bunch of losers pretending to be cooler than the other guy pretending to be cool. They put all their money and thought into looking the part. You have to take that money and all your time and actually becoming that person that you’re pretending to be. Which ironically means doing pretty much the opposite.
"Don't act like you've made it, talk about the journey of trying to make it"
