Fake it till you make it - Netflix "Creating Anna"

Recently, Netflix's hot topics have just focused on the theme of "scam". The hot "Tinder scammer" and "Creating Anna" one after another, the two protagonists - Simon and Anna - are using certain methods and psychological techniques to make them The people who come into contact with them all believe that they are the rich second generation with rich family wealth and abundant funds, so they get a lot of things they want from these people.

Since both of them are real people, it happened only a few years ago, which makes it feel more real.

In the last episode of "Creating Anna", defense lawyer Todd mentioned "Fake it till you make it!"

It is argued that Anna is the same as most of us in the world. Before she succeeds, she can only pretend that she has this ability and belongs to this circle. As long as the ADF Foundation she pursues and dreams of is successful, she will indeed become this part of the circle!

This sentence happens to be my nickname on the community app. Since I changed jobs, I often temper myself like this.

Due to the huge gap between the industry in the past and the industry in which I work now, all industry knowledge and contacts must be re-learned. However, since I am no longer a newcomer to the society, my supervisors and colleagues expect them to be able to get started as soon as possible. Contribute now.

Under such circumstances, he would not allow himself to learn slowly, and he had to exert his combat power in the shortest possible time. Therefore, even if you know that your confidence is not enough, you must ask yourself, no matter what, you must find a way to achieve your goals.

"Fake it till you make it" is what I kept reminding myself of during this period.

Pretend not to think you understand well, or to deceive others, but to give yourself confidence that even if you are not yet ready, as long as you keep working hard and move forward, you can do it sooner or later!

No one has all the conditions for success right from the start and has to go through that "believe you can do it" phase.

But the most important thing is to keep working hard, to strive, to strive for, and to learn according to who you want to be .

If you just stay in the "Fake it" stage, you will never "make it" in the end!

The biggest difference between Simon of "Tinder Big Liar" and Anna of "Creating Anna" should be that Anna wants to create a business, but to create such a business, she chooses to create an image to gain contacts/funds to achieve her goals /status! And Simon is more like a simple Ponzi scheme, using the next victim's funds to pay for his current luxury life, so that he can always live a dreamy life!

"Creating Anna" may be more of a message than the subject of scams - even if we don't encourage her, respect her as someone who pursues her dreams and actually makes them happen! Compared with the general public who live hard, but don't really work hard for what they want to do (Anna's best friend-Neff, who has always claimed to be a director in the play, but has never made any works, is a person who has been used all the time. role of comparison), she is a practitioner of courageous attempts! Perhaps she can convince so many people to believe in her because she is indeed chasing her own goals, so let people feel that enthusiasm!
