People in this jobs always tries to look cool or trendy as if this say something about their real creative value, that sometimes is huge but many other times not. This has been always an attractive subject to me because I'm a design department manager and I'm not in the trendy clothes side of things (I do this as a life statement, like a NO-LOGO message), but I'm always pushed by friens and collegues to improve my look with the argument that if I am a leader of a group I must look like that. I'm a kind person (socially, I'm far than perfect), the people that know me find me interesting and educated, and there's no doubt about my creative skills, so why I'm tempted to do the mask thing?... Maybe our society don't want us real, they want the flag, not the core Quite a time since this post and my comment Jae!, I came to it googling about false self image when it comes to designers (in graphic industry specifically).

I recently realized the 'being honest with yourself' stuff is the way to go. But when i read the "You may pretend to be an asshole but your courteous side will come through when you open the door for someone." part, it really hit the nail on the head, and I realized i might not quite be there yet. So, thank you! This just might be a life changing post great post.

I am personally full of bullshit. I think it is because once upon a time I was a good self. I lost a lot of self esteem and I have been bullshitting myself so much. It hurts admitting it, but it must be done. Thanks This was an AMAZING post.

I love it. But who are the real you ? Its hard to find yourself when others often makes a label of you. If others expect a nerdy guy behaviour from you, after a while you may start thinking like a nerd. And if you do something else they will say "that's not you, take of a mask." The best thing to do is that you are honest to yourself, if you are honest then you can figure out what you have to improve in yourself to be the man you want to be.. And always do what you want to do and newer care what other will think of you. Great article. I love it.

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 22:28:54 +0000 http://www.kinowear.com/blog/taking-off-the-false-mask/#comment-18637 Great work Jae. I'll definitely bookmark this article and read it occasionally to remind myself to always "cut the bullshit". It's a trap many of us, especially young guys, fall into. A hole that we keep on digging deeper and deeper until in the end we have no choice but bury ourselves in it. I especially like this sentence you wrote, Jae: Do you TELL more than you SHOW? I'd like to add something more to that: Do you TELL more than you DO? At the end of the day, the only way to improve one's image (physically, socially, psychologically) is to get out there and start DOING instead of telling lies and pretending to be someone that you are not. Terrific post. Great work Jae. I’ll definitely bookmark this article and read it occasionally to remind myself to always “cut the bullshit”. It’s a trap many of us, especially young guys, fall into.

I think its like admit the place you're in now, so that you can work to your destination full-time. Deviations from this will just delay, and waste energy. Great article.
