It is a poor idea to lie to yourself.

Lying to yourself can be devastating. Many people who fail to excel in life lie to themselves. People only realise that they have been lying to themselves when they fail to achieve their goals. People lie themselves in various ways. For example some students think that they can start and finish a 100 marks assignment in a day and still get a distinction. However, in most cases students fail or get an average mark which results in putting the blame on the lecturers. Certain people lie to themselves about being career women, nevertheless, reality plays its role when these assumed career women get married and become mothers and housewives. For these reasons it is unwise and a blue lie to say that you know your destiny, instead, the best thing to do is to show commitment in everything you do.
