Are You Yourself ??

This question is something which I think all of us should ask ourselves every once in a while. In the present times,we have been exposed a lot to fake and imitation.We notice people in our surrounding and behave in accordance with their expectations from us or we try to copy their behaviour. In the real sense, we have stopped living for ourselves.

Right from the way we talk, we dress, the places we go to and even the food that we eat is all influenced by the act of imitation. This behaviour is generally seen among the college students who try to adopt new styles only to keep in trend. They seldom forget about their own selves, their style and attitude in midst of all this. With the fear of being poked or made fun of or rejected by their friends, they adopt new styles without realising the impact it may have on them in the future. Now with this simple example i think everyone would identify how much we fake in our daily lives.
A student might like to attend a particular lecture in college but just because everyone in his class says that the professor is boring,this student would also join them if he is not very strong about his principles and fears rejection. He may also start saying that the lecture is boring whereas deep in his heart he may want to attend it.

Now people have this attitude of criticising rather than praising or appreciating someone. Human heart always craves for praises and in this quench we begin to try to please people. We act and behave as they want us to behave. We live our life for ourselves. We should do things which please us and make us happy. Everyone has an aim in their life. I believe, we must work independently to achieve this and the result should satisfy us. We must not bother about what others think about it. Everyone is this world is "Unique" and we should have firm belief in ourselves and our decisions.Then the world around would have less of imitation and more of reality.I just came across a quote which says:

It's better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.
-Matt Damon

But I believe that,
Why be a Nobody in your life..?? Be Yourself..

Its better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
