“Naturalness is the easiest thing in the world to acquire, if you will forget yourself then forget about the impression you are trying to make...”

Quotable Quote... (QQ) is a series that I had fortuitously started in my office; where I used to send a quote daily (almost) to people who had subscribed for it & by the time I stopped it a few years back, there were a whooping 550 subscribers across organizations :) This blog is to relive those quotes... All quotes are from a personalized collection, hand written in a notebook ... originally created by my aunt ... later inherited and augmented by me :) Cheers!!!

agreed!
thats why they say....whatever u do...always be ur self! As usual
good one mate!
I agree. That's why when not-so-intelligent (did not want to say stupid but said it anyway!) try and act intelligent, they end up looking even more stupid!
Lovely!
**Naturalness is the easiest thing in the world to acquire
however Naturalness is not something that need to be 'acquired' if it's already there :)

What about peole with Alzeimer - they tend to forget themselves - but do make an impression ;)
But a nice quote....but certain natural behaviour is still considered a No No
@kp -> thanks mate :-)
@solitaire -> thats one example ... but there would be many other comparisions .... but the end result would be the same .... they wont be able to leave the impression that they tried to :)
@keshi -> hahaha .... bang on !!!! I think its more like realizing the power of naturalness and acknowleding it and using it :)
@ceedy -> bro, as i told u, these people will be ther natural amnesic self ... and I dont think they could even thik of creating impressions ... :)
and abt those certain natural behaviors :-) .... pls elaborate :)
Are Saddam and Hitler they were naturally obnoxios right! and they did not forget it I guess :)
@ceedy -> Ohh okay ... that way .... I thot ur comment was more on a lighter note ;)
abt saddam, hitler, ...hmmm ... i think they are what they are today only because of their natural self ... (famous or infamous .. thats a different thing...)
but if they would have tried to show an impression of theirs as toned down person ... they wouldnt have succeeded in doing so ... this quote says just that ... if u try to portray something you are not ... you wont be able to do so ...
curbing your naturalness and trying to portray an impression is different ...
exactly :) cos if someone TRIES to be natural, then thats not natural.
