Marshall Goldsmith: “Just be you”
“Just be you. You are good enough. In the long run, any success you achieve, if you don’t act like yourself, won’t seem real anyway. You will just feel like an imposter or a phony.” … “No one can tell you how to do anything that hasn’t been done before. If you are going to do anything creative, you have to make it up yourself. There is no guidebook.If you have an idea that sounds good to you, go for it. Just be you. Do what is in your heart. You may fail, but at least you will have tried. Don’t waste your life worrying too much about being normal. Lots of people are normal. It is more fun to be different. Just be you.”
