The worst advice that you can ever give…

I don’t know whether I’ve complained about this or not…

But, I think that the worst advice that you can ever give to a person is…

JUST BE YOURSELF!!!

Fuck hell…I’m sorry to say…but, why the hell would you tell somebody to be “their selves” when they themselves are not good enough at the first place…

If they constantly stay the same…how the hell can they improve then???

I do admit, that sometimes “be yourself!” is the most appropriate advice to give to someone who really needs it…especially if that someone is already good enough before, and he/she has become worse after he/she went through some sort of transformational phase…

But thing is…this advice has become too cliché that it’s used at mostly the wrong times…

Like for example….if somebody has never went though this transformational phase at the first place, why would you tell them to “be yourself”, when they already are being “themselves”???

Another instance is: a couple of years ago I heard of somebody organizing a prom and I asked what the dress code was…and guess what??? The dress code was “be yourself”!!!

Thing is…I know that what they were really trying to say was to dress-up formally…but why why do they have to tell people to “be yourself” when they actually expect people to “be Brad Pitt” or “be Angelina Jolie”…

If wearing pajamas represents “myself”…then would they allow me to wear pajamas to the prom???

I HIGHLY DOUBT IT!

Thing is, people who use it, usually don’t know how to use it…(I’m sorry to say but my bad experiences with “be yourself” often involve Malays)

Like recently, this singer from OneInAMillion did an interview on an English radio station…she answered ALL her questions in Malay…but, when she was asked to give an advice to her former contender, she said “be yourself!”

Annoying seyh…

Her advice was sooo not applicable to her contender…the singer gave the advice because she has nothing else to say…so, she bimbotically tell her contender to “be yourself” when obviously that is a very stupid advice to be given at the first place…cause I know that her contender is a bitch (in real life)…so, if her contender become “herself”, then she would obviously lose votes because of her bitchiness…(or maybe that was her REAL plan after all)

And furthermore, if somebody IS a fake…then, doesn’t that represents “themselves”??? meaning…even if you’re ‘fake’ you’re still being “yourself” because that’s what you are…

So, the best advice to give to this fake person is…”be fake”…because for a fake person to be ‘fake’ would mean that they wouldn’t become fake anymore…get it???

In other words…negative times negative equals to positive…(eyh ye ke???)

And do you know how HARD it is to change a personality??? Well, believe you me, IT’S SERIOULY ARDUOUS…so, people are rarely NOT THEMSELVES!
