It really need not be imitating or following a trend. Most people have a tendency to crave the limelight, if not showing it, within their deepest of secrets at heart at least!Ramya Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738990395387538215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778447007242415497.post-75681231320721734422009-01-18T17:23:00.000-08:002009-01-18T17:23:00.000-08:00it seems you are indeed wise and have expressed yo...it seems you are indeed wise and have expressed yourself very well here. so long as one is always true to an inner truth, an inner principle and strive to be guided by it, things will have to workout regardless of impressions that others might form. i am also not forgetting that being a human we are not all perfect and holding on to this inner truth is not always easy. yet, it is doable and works wonders when followed. thanks for thought provoking posts.<BR/>lanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778447007242415497.post-41956728083002852352009-01-18T09:06:00.000-08:002009-01-18T09:06:00.000-08:00a very good post...very thoughtful...it's hard to ...a very good post...very thoughtful...<BR/><BR/>it's hard to find genuineness these days...creating the difference between "impress" and "express"...<BR/><BR/>ultimately one has to realise, it really does not matter what you project to be, until you become that person...artificiality does not last long...sooner or later, every mask cracks someday...mouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007513103514405978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778447007242415497.post-72493122187392036802009-01-18T08:28:00.000-08:002009-01-18T08:28:00.000-08:00Fantastic write-up firstly.. 5 stars..This just go...Fantastic write-up firstly.. 5 stars..<BR/><BR/>This just goes to the show the clarity of ur thought process..AMAZING!!!<BR/><BR/>I liked the paragraph where u explained in detail, what happens when we EXPRESS ourselves and when we try to IMPRESS others. That was nice. But I feel , a person needs to be smart enough to strike a balance between the both.<BR/><BR/>In the sense, he has to EXPRESS himself in a manner that will IMPRESS people.Though he need not imitate ppl or try to ijnfluence so explicitly but he should EXPRESS himself in a unique way to IMPRESS people.<BR/><BR/>A nice discussion...waiting for others comments.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702893278003993257noreply@blogger.com
