Throughput one’s lifetime, we get to play many different roles in our lives, whether it’s being a son/daughter, sibling, dad/mom, a friend, a colleague or any other titles given to us. As we interface with many people of all ages, we appropriately need to present our character of who we are, what we say, and how we behave. I’ve found that among all these roles, the thing to keep in mind is being yourself. Trying to be someone who you’re not simply doesn’t work, and nor will you feel comfortable trying to be in someone else’s shoes. And more importantly, to not let other people affect who we are in trying to change our character if it’s not for the better. Conceptually, it means not having peer pressure influence us. But in a more deeper thinking, it means just being comfortable with who we are as a person. There is no right or wrong answer here. It’s about comfort zone, and it’s about what type of rules we can/cannot accept. Personally, I think this is another important life lessons that I’ve learned. We have choices to make, and we should make it based on our thoughts, rather than someone else’s.
