"من الأفضل أن تكون شخصًا وليس شخصية"

Henry James

Simplified Meaning:

Being a real person is more valuable than playing a role or putting on an act. Think about how some people pretend to be someone they're not just to impress others or fit in. For example, imagine a student who always tries to act like the most popular kid in school, even if it means being rude or dishonest. This kind of behavior can make them unhappy and stressed because they are hiding their true self. On the other hand, if the student just acts naturally, being kind and true to themselves, they will likely find genuine friends who appreciate them for who they are. Being authentic makes life more fulfilling and builds stronger relationships.
