Authenticity is very important - be true to one's self.

Living a life where you are true to yourself takes more courage than hiding under a false life such as a pen name or alias. Never be ashamed of what you write, what genre you write where you have to hide who you are. - STRONG: Powerful Philosophy for Timeless Thoughts by Kailin Gow.

It's a sheer and an utter nonsense to even think or imagine that a person can gain and retain people better than who s/he is by her/his character through own act of surrounding others.

Be true to yourself.Let your belief & thoughts for right cause are not compromised at any cost though you have to face people’s onslaught to mend ways in their intrest.In process you may be alone taking onslaught bravely.Be sure that your feet is in right place & than stand firm

This above all; to thine own self be true.
