 {{a|shitmaxim|“[[Be the best version of yourself]]”}}{{shitmaxim|Be the best version of yourself}}, unless your Shakespearean flaw is lack of judgment, self-awareness or common sense, of course. Which, if I know you like I think I do, it is.
+If it ''is'', sailor, you are in no position to judge which version of yourself is the best one out there. So you’re screwed. You could ask a friend you trust — but your judgment of your friends isn’t much better, right, so that won’t work either.
+But assume it isn’t. Let’s grant for a moment that you are , but you still think [[LinkedIn]] can sensibly answer them. If you are self-aware enough to acknowledge your fixable shortcomings and not fix them, living a sub-optimal life on purpose, then you have problems that [[LinkedIn]] surely cannot solve.
+But, in any case, first thing: do you, in the first place, run multiple versions of yourself that, but for their quality, are basically the same? If so I think we’ve hit upon your problem. Have one version of yourself and make it a good one.
+Or maybe you have your family self, your weekend self, your cricket-playing self and your morbidly-obsessed-with-the-vacuity of LinkedIn self. But these are different selves, for use on the right occasion. Don't bring your LinkedIn self to the cricket club (frankly, don’t take your LinkedIn self anywhere. Ideally, kill it off, even on LinkedIn.)
