The thing to strive for is to get paid to talk about yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's like a dream come true. When somebody is paying you to talk about yourself, you've won.
Don't let anybody tell you different, man: The main goal in life careerwise should always be to try to get paid to simply be yourself.
You have to assert something about yourself in order to be yourself.
Be your true self. Because if you're not, there are consequences to be paid.
I think that when the social stakes for people are higher, how you present yourself may sometimes feel like it's going to inform your destiny. Because if other people regard you in a certain way, they'll want to help you, and you will end up having a career.
Being yourself is one of the greatest things you can possibly do. Being true to yourself.
You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, 'I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself.'
If you are ambitious to talk well, you must be as much as possible in the society of well-bred, cultured people. If you seclude yourself, though you are a college graduate, you will be a poor converser.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.
