The internet is easier when you view it as an improv act - Garry Tan.
Given life is a series of acts, envision a role, and play it to the best of your abilities ie visionary, sales, engineer etc. It’s all performances.
Authenticity wins. Playing a great bit requires 100% commitment and others will respect a great performance, especially the close few that know your authentic self.
The best advice: what would X do here? Where X is the best role player that comes to mind.
What role will you play today?
