The liar.
The self-help and popular coaching literature are inundated with suggestions such as “just be your- self ”, “don’t worry about what people think of you”, and “if you think you are great, you are”. Although such feel- good advice is obviously comforting (wouldn’t it be nice if others just celebrated the most spontaneous, unfiltered, and impulsive version of ourselves, and we had no pressure whatsoever to “behave”, even in critical work situations?) it is in stark contrast with the rather more sobering and tedious reality, namely that “faking it” is a critical ingredient of leadership talent. In fact, if you are unable (or unwilling) to adjust your behavior to meet social expectations, adhere to the dominant etiquette, take into account other people’s perspectives, and make an effort to manage impressions to present yourself in a desirable rather than unrepressed, uninhibited, or un- censored way, then you won’t just fail to be an effective leader, but also fail to be a leader in the first place.

The Importance of Self-Love Languages: Nurturing Your Emotional Well-Being
The Power of Understanding Your Love Language Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

Oh, No! I Burned Out!
Oh no! What happened? I was doing so well! I’m never going to make ends meet as a freelance author at this point! To explain, the first five days or so of February, while I was fully invested in creating new and amazing content every day, commenting on people’s stories, earning top stories and bonuses—What went wrong? How could I let that slip away? However will I get to twenty million views at this rate? Must the pressures of being a Master’s student always get in the way of the quarter of a dollar per day I am trying to make? It’s sad, honestly. So sad.
