  1. “Fake it till you become it,” is something we all do in life. Like paying attention in class, you need to fake paying attention at least until, you need to pay attention. Another thing you can “fake it till you become it” is job interviews. Everyone that goes to a job interview is scared. If you go into the bathroom and make yourself bigger, then you will be more confident that you were before and have a better attitude. Last thing about faking it is how your feel changes what you do. If you feel positive you might take more chances. For example you more like to gamble more. If you feel negative then you might not want to do anything. For example when you do something you don’t want to do so you’re not going to give all your effort into it. That’s what I think “fake it till you become it” means.

  2. Fake it till you become it!

    The quote “fake it till you become it.” Means you basically act like you’re not scared of anything. Example, your professor tells you that you that there is a single assignment and no retake or corrections. And the student is scared but instead he feels confident and does it right there was an example of faking it he was Confident and secure. Eventually after faking it you will become this. Another example of fake it till you became it is in a wolf pack the alpha male isn’t born one he fakes and fakes by intimidating even though he may be truly scared deep down. But you do it anyway even though you may lose. The last and final example is when I ran the mile for the first time I was like “I got diss!” but then reality set in and I noticed that it was going to a lot more challenging than I originally thought. In my opinion these are some examples of “Fake it till you become it!”

  3. Fake it till you become it applies to life in many ways. One of the things is that if you try you can make it to your goals. If you reach your goal you can be anybody you want to be if you try. You can be a doctor if you do all of the work cut out for it.
    Another thing that you can fake is your own life. I fake that I know everything but I don’t till I learn it. For example how to right in cursive in 3rd grade. When you learn things you want to teach it to outer people who dose no also know what it is.
    Last but not least I fake that I know how to ride a bike without my hands. I learn how to that when I was 6 year old. I keep on trying till I got it if you try in life it can make you be at many heights.This is why you need to fake stuff till you reach your goal.

  4. How to fake it to become it a story by Jesse dugas
    The Quote fake it till you become it applies to everyday life. This takes place if you are trying to become someone you are not. So if you want to you have to fake it kind of like how mint Romany is doing. He has no real power but he sheer has to act like he dos other wize he won’t become president.
    Another story is when I first went in to wrestling and I did not know anything about it but to get fear in the other person I had to fake it. And when I was on the mat I had to act like I was good.
    This also happened to me a little while ago I started to drive ever Saturday to get beter but I did not know what to do but I had to riley fake it and figure it out as I was going along. I also did it with my brother he helped me get to it but I still have to fake it because the class just started.

  5. The quote "fake it till you become it" applies to a lot of things today. like on the first day of school, you dont know whats going on, but you play it cool and try to go with the flow. Which is how i was on the first day of fresham year. I had a difficult time trying to remeber where all my classes are. Mostly because the building is big, theres 3 floors, and I had to walk a ways to get from one class to the other. But after I met all the teachers and went to my classes. Afer a few days i began to get it memorized.

  6. There are 3 ways to the quote “fake it till you become it” apply to life. The first way that applies to the life is testosterone. Testosterone is a way to the quote because you feel big but you feel small. People who don't talk want to be big but inside they feel really small. For example a student in class is being hunched over and not talking because they are feeling small but finally they come out and begin to talk. The 2nd is body language. Body language because you can tell if a person is being small or big. The last way is I. I because I hunch a lot because I am tired. For example when I moved here in 5th grade I didn't what to do I “faked it”. In my opinion these are the 3 ways to the quote “fake it till you become it”

  7. How the quote fake it till you become it apply to our life are three things body language, tiny tweaks and role changes. The first thing is body language. There are many ways that your body can tell about you like when you are nervous you start too sweet. Another example is when you are scared you start to shake and the last example is when you really get excited and you start to get jumpy. Now we move no to tiny tweaks. It is easy to make tiny tweaks so then your life could come out to be a little more easer for example if you are always nervous or shy you can make tiny tweaks and be a little more out there and be a little more confident and meet people. The last is role change. Role changes are two different things high power and low power. High power is when is when you are out there and taking up space. Low power is when you are keeping to yourself and not taking up space. There are poses for high power and low power. For high power your hands are in the air your feet are spread out and for low power you keep your hands and feet close to your body in a tight position. My opinion is these are the three things that apply to life.

  8. The quote “fake it, till you become it” applies to life in three ways. One way would be making yourself more powerful. By making yourself more powerful would be good because your making yourself stand out more and giving your opinion. Another way would be how you act. The way you act can show people who you really are because you don’t want people thinking you’re immature. One of my life experiences would be when I tried to “fake it till I become it” when I joined football. When I went to the first practice, I was scared because all the other men were bigger and knew what they were doing. When we huddled in the middle of the field and coach jones said the groups and broke apart to practice the routines and I didn’t know where to go because I was on the offense of line and there were a lot of white jerseys so I didn’t know where to go for which group. After we broke apart, I stood up went to another player and asked confently where I was supposed to go and he showed me where I was supposed to go and practiced hard and tried to blend in with the other players. Those are the three “fake it, till you become it” quotes that apply to my life.
