“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...”

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 :)

Hiren said...

@keshi -> hahaha .... bang on !!!! I think its more like realizing the power of naturalness and acknowleding it and using it :)

Hiren said...

@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 :)

ceedy said...

Are Saddam and Hitler they were naturally obnoxios right! and they did not forget it I guess :)

Hiren said...

@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 ...

Keshi said...

exactly :) cos if someone TRIES to be natural, then thats not natural.
