Topic Feb.10

Last time I talked about showing " who you are ".
It's better not try too hard to make a good impression on your friends.Because of your pride, you shouldn't pretend to be someone.You need to be" You".If you puff yourself up too much, your friends can't understand you.
You also not shouldn't be too humble so you don't need to think about how you make impression at all.
Just be yourself.
