 {{a|shitmaxim|Don’t dream it — ''be'' it.<br>}}{{shitmaxim|Be the best version of yourself}}, unless your Shakespearean flaw is lack of judgment, self-awareness or common sense, of course. Which, if your susceptibility for fatuous [[LinkedIn]] wisdom is anything to go by, it is.
-If it ''is'', sailor, you are hardly well-positioned to judge which version of yourself is the best one out there. Now maybe there’s a better version of yourself out there — one with a keener sense of better self-awareness for example — but you’re not presently it. You wouldn’t recognise it if it hit you in the face, which there’s a fair chance it would, if the two of you met. And what would this better version of you ''say'' to you? It would tell your present you that you haven’t, as currently configured, got the gumption to find it. What would your present you say to this better you? ''You wouldn’t recognise it''. O tempora! O [[paradox]]!

 So you’re stuffed. You could ask a friend you trust — but seeing as, [[Q.E.D.]], your judgment of your friends isn’t much better, that won’t work either.
