Summary

This quote by Kurt Vonnegut suggests that our actions and behaviors shape our identity. By pretending to be something or someone, we gradually become that person or reflect those qualities.

It reminds us to be conscious of the messages we communicate and the values we embody through our actions, acknowledging the power of self-perception and the impact it has on shaping who we are.
