Great Quote - We all have some strengths wired in our DNA - things that come naturally to us. Knowing these strengths is the key.

Trying to be like someone else is a suicidal act. In heaven, God will not ask "Why did not you be a great leader/manager/singer like XYZ?" God will ask "Why did not you be yourself?"

So yes, being yourself is a privilege of lifetime.

Tanmay,

I agree, provided that being yourself is being a decent person. I've met some people who would be better off being someone else.
