Don't pretend to be what you're not, instead, pretend to what you want to be, it is not pretence, it is a journey to self realization.

The more you try to impress, the more you become depressed, and the more they get tired of your coercion. It doesn't make them love you, instead, they'll see you as a little child, trying to draw a senseless picture on a piece of paper, begging people to look at it and admire it by force. You can persuade someone to look at your face, but you can't persuade them to see the beauty therein.

Don't try to impress a loser because If one is not happy about the things happening in their life, one cannot be happy about the things happening in someone else's life.

Cockiness is a display of an empty lifestyle, humility is when you see yourself as a zero while others are making you their hero.
