autorave/self improvement

From the page: "J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter book series, delivers her Commencement Address, �oeThe Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination,” at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association."

There's an old saying in personal-development and even in business...fake it until you make it. And, there are times where that's appropriate.

Problem is, there are other times where the substantial volume of direct, indirect and social proof strongly contradict your claims, undermine your credibility and, rather than bolstering your authority and appeal, make you look downright silly and untrustworthy. They reveal you as a fake.

Excellent post by Jonathan on blogging and revealing your personality online.
