fake it till you make it
from "breakfast" to "sapa" to wielding quotes like a sword, and somehow ending up a self-taught surgeon of your own destiny. Brace yourself.
so, you've heard the phrase "fake it till you make it." probably more times than “sapa” or “breakfast”.
the famous “breakfast” stopped being about food but now about relationships that break, fast.
just like breakfast, "fake it till you make it" is a double-edged knife. In the hands of a surgeon, it's a powerful tool for growth and transformation—in the hands of organ harvesters? well, let's just say body parts might be on the black market.
like a surgeon with a knife, let's cut through the “fake it till you make it” misconceptions. Shall we?
personally, I've taken the surgeon's approach to "faking it". Placed my writing-heroes on the table, and cut them open by listening to their shows, reading their books, and swallowing their content. Through this, I've crafted my own style, my own voice.
as Busayo wisely puts it, the essence of "faking it" lies in putting in the effort. It's not about deceit; it's about diligently working on oneself, layer by layer until you've built something uniquely yours.
taglines like "Just do it" or "Follow your passion" can be as misleading as a clickbait headline. What if someone's passion is harvesting human parts? Should they still do it? Of course, not.
we become the surgeons of our lives when we can operate on these taglines with precision, using them to carve our path, to construct the life we envision. It's not about blind imitation; it's about taking control, one deliberate CUT at a time.
next time someone tosses "fake it till you make it" your way, remember you're not just faking; you're sculpting. You're performing surgery on your life, molding it into a masterpiece. Because, in the end, it's not about faking—it's about BECOMING.
