- People respect results, productivity, and usefulness, not self-assigned titles.
Be Useful, Not Titled
- Focus on doing useful things that help others instead of claiming a title for ego validation.
- Build habits that produce consistent results so people judge you by actions, not labels.

- A frame built on pretending collapses when challenged because it lacks real foundation.
