All thanks to social media... Introverts like us have nothing to worry about. We hardly take pictures sef.
Something happened in one of the places I've worked, we recruited this new guy (a graduate) as an office assistant. So on the day of resumption, I was showing him around the office and I also took him to the MD's office to intimate him with his duties (the MD wasn't around yet) but I had access to his office. So I quickly left to answer a call in my office, then I returned to the the MD's office not knowing what had happened.
That same evening, I saw on this guy's WhatsApp status, the pictures he took while I was briefly away. He went as far as taking one on the MD's seat. First day at the office fah!! He even captioned it..'When Grace finds you'. This was someone whose salary was barely 25k.

About the "Fake it till you make it", I think the person who coined the sentence didn't mean it the way it is being interpreted. True.

I used to be very active in Paulo Coelho's Facebook page because I loved reading from him. I remember him posting 'Fake it till you make it' in one of his posts one day and I commented that I am surprised that came from him, I asked if he was encouraging people to be who they were not. Then one of his followers replied me and actually explained it in its actual context. Far different from how we see it. Of a truth, the explanation made sense but I didn't store it in my long term memory because then I was still holding on to my own understanding of the sentence.

Modified:

So I just looked up results from google for 'fake it till you make it' and I enjoin you all to try to read up the meaning. It actually means something good, more in line with the explanation given to me by one of Paulo's followers.

Please, let us clearly understand the origins of certain things before representing them as bad.

TO THE OP AND ALL THE PROPONENTS ON THIS TOPICS

My psyche tells OP of this thread is suffering from chronic jealousy or low self esteem. Nobody has the right or moral justification to tell people how to live life. As far as they are not breaking the laws of the land. There is no crime prescribed as FAKE LIFE. Humans are distinct and varies with different character. So you cant expect people not to show off or look presentable on a picture that is public. Do you expect people to put on worn out dress or a slum background just to prove they aint got money yet.

Some people are rich yet they hardly show off publicly while others galivant every where on cyber space. Same as the average or broke guys. Live your life and dont force others to agree on your school of thought.

Waksdabos:

You sounds pained by this write up. Did OP hit you below the belt? You can still change from living a FAKE LIFE!

Fake people always have a reputation to maintain, real people just don't give a shiit.

My little cousin worries a lot because she thinks her friends are doing better than her. And she deduced all this from FB posts and pictures. Very sad.

I tell her constantly that she might even be doing better than them. Why worry because of ordinary pictures?

BluntBoy:




The guy that services my generator, an apprentice o, describes himself as a Civil Engineer on his FB profile. He has not even written WAEC o. But you need to see his page. He has pictures of himself wearing civil engineering helmets with captions such as "at work with my Chinese bosses. Money tings". You never get to see these Chinese bosses because they are imaginary.

May God help these fake people.

Show her the OP to read and emphasis that she is not obliged to impress anyone. Social media is full of fake stuffs. Some celebrities are even living fake lives. Don't worry about her, with proper guidance, she will mature with time.

BluntBoy:


Hopefully, she will. I have told her severally about something called packaging and even gave her examples. One is a small boy who services my generator but calls himself a civil engineer on FB. This is a boy who is yet to sit for WAEC, but he is already working with Julius Berger as a civil engineer; and he has Chinese bosses who pay him in dollars and per hour.

But she seems to believe that her friends are all truly doing as fine as the pictures portray.
