Friends,

I see so many of you saying that it doesn't work for them. I also see some doubting my statement that "Fake it until you BECOME it" doesn't work. I have no issues regarding that. However, I have something more to add here.

Under normal circumstances, the word "fake" has negative meaning attached to it, and unconsciously we accept that meaning as truth. I don't know who wrote the phrase "Fake it until you make it" but my belief is that s/he did it with by taking a bit of poetic liberty and used the words "fake" and "make" so that they rhyme with each other. My belief is that what the author actually meant by the word fake was "PRACTICE".

Now all those who say that faking hasn't worked for them, can they really say that they have PRACTICED whatever they wanted to achieve with all sincerity? I guess not.

Somebody talked about "someone who is mentally ill" faking it to become "non mentally ill". I ask her/him that we are not talking about mentally ills here. For them we have better qualified Doctors and Institutions who would help them. I am talking about PRACTICING (faking) anything in the simplest format to begin with with all sincerity and then challenge what has been said.

If that were not the case people would not practice any games for hours altogether to become winners, or the Pilots practice in simulators before they took charge of those huge Jumbos.

Have fun guys. BECOME it.
