Did someone ever told you "Just be yourself and everything will be alright"? At first, this seems like a pretty noble advice. Don't try to be someone you are not. It makes sense. Don't try to be a comedian when you are not or whatever you are not.
I have one problem with this advice. It also says, be lazy and mediocre things will happen to you. Don't try to become a better person, eventually something that fits will come along.
What is it you want? A prestigious job? A stunning better half? Good friends? If so then ...
"It's not enough to just be yourself.
You must be your best self."
- Neil Strauss
Yes something will come along, but grooming yourself and dressing well will definitely help that stunning person notice you. Practicing your speech and answers will without a doubt give you an edge on that dream job interview. Learning a few jokes will make you more memorable to those interesting persons.
You can either be the one waiting for something good to happen or do whatever it takes to get what you want.
And next time a friend ask you what to do or what's wrong with them. Don't just give them an answer, give them the best answer. To be their best self instead of just themselves.
