Good morning 🌞 friends of the hive. I am so happy to be part of this amazing community.
Today I would like to share a popular statement which o disagree with 
**"FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT"**
This is a popular saying. It means you should pretend to be confident or successful, even if you are not, until you finally become that person. In some situations, it can help ike when you’re nervous about a job interview or public speaking. Acting confident might help you feel better and do well.
But this saying can also cause problems, especially when people take it too far.

Some people start pretending to have skills or knowledge they don’t really have. Others try to look rich or successful when they’re not. They post fancy pictures online, wear expensive clothes, or lie about their experience just to impress others. This can be dangerous. It puts pressure on you to keep pretending, and that can make you feel tired, anxious, or even fake.
Also, when you focus too much on looking successful, you may forget to actually become successful. You spend time trying to impress instead of learning and growing. Over time, this can hurt your confidence even more, because deep down, you know you’re not being honest with yourself.

A better way to think is: “Grow until you make it.” This means you don’t need to pretend. You can start where you are. Learn new things. Practice. Ask for help. You don’t need to be perfect you just need to keep growing.

As a beginner it is okay. Everyone starts somewhere. People respect real effort and honesty more than fake success. When you work hard and be real  you will be proud of it.
Remember: it’s better to grow slowly and honestly than to fake your way to the top and feel empty inside. So instead of faking it, focus on learning and becoming better every day.
