"Pretending doesn't have to have a negative connotation either, it can even save your life, like if you had to pretend or convince, play the part to get out of a sticky or even dangerous stituation."

It can also make you a lot of money as an actor/actress. Or by acting like you like your boss, so you get a promotion. Not that I know about that sort of thing, or anything. 🙂

Well said Shaks .. 🙂

Standard (basic) Deviations: How To Get A Raise or Promotion ..

LOLINGG! @ the very LAST line in this article.. i think the guy WAS totally serious.. ha ha!

"Should you happen to get a raise, I think it's only fair that you send me a thank you card along with $ 5 via paypal to show your gratitude." ..geeezus pleazus!

GIVE IT TO ME, GIVE IT TO ME, DAMNIT! .."i gave you good common sense, now PAY UP!" =) ..LOL

"Be "you" heavy - Everyone has 1 favorite person in the world; one person that they always care for. That person is themselves. People like it when the topic of conversation is them. This means you should watch your phrasing. Instead of saying "I think I deserve a raise/promotion" say "wouldn't you agree that I deserve a promotion?" Not only does this tell the boss that the topic of thought is his own decision on whether or not to give a promotion, but it also saves him a lot of mental. When you say "I deserve a promotion" the boss thinks to himself "he wants a promotion, do I think he deserves a promotion?" When you ask "wouldn't you agree that I deserve a promotion?, however, the first step in his though process is cut out and is able to immediately think "do I think he deserves a promotion/raise?" Making the metal task easier will likely raise your chance of getting a positive response. This theory comes from the book "How to Talk to Anyone" by Leil Lowndes

..actually these ARE some pretty good basic guidelines.

Mystic Fish, I'm glad you enjoyed my article. Now that I'm reading over it, I've noticed a lot of typos and it makes the text really annoying to read. I'll fix that soon. I'm not entirely serious with the $ 5 thing. It just goes with the fratire tone. I'm not quite sure what the topic is here, but it does have something to do with zodiac signs. I'm an aries and, as such, I should be feared. Rams can break shit with their head. Little known fact, rams are godless killing machines. They're nature's mercenaries. Thanks again for reading my blog. You can check out more more amazing article that'll wet your pants at www.standarddeviations.tk

Cappysweetie why are you trying to be nice-why not just say liar-who are the great liars of the zodiac?

haha!!! How does that quote go? Here's let me give it a shot:

I am what I am and thats who I am and thats all that I am *grins*

lol, plus theres a difference between a Great Pretender and a lair cal, you wanna know what it is?

A lair flenches once and a while if you pay attention, but a pretender never flenches, they just get caught 😉

"Well, i have to say, us Cappys are pretty good at that, and we have that "Serious" mask which enables us to be Believed by almost anyone.
When i was younger i used to lie my pants off and always got away with it coz of my "Seriousness"
The more serious you seem, the less likely people are to dis-believe you. That was my experience anyway"

uh huh, I agree! I can pull it off quite well if I want to and have in the past very smoothly.

haha - calthorpe 's like permanently high !

from my experience, based on the professor comments, I find this with cappy and aquas ... the way they talk, they are not questioned a lot so can't get away with loads...

libra has a mask sometimes they're not even aware of

cancer and pisces wear masks not to reveal emotions ...

lib, pisces and cancer manipulate loads to get their way

virgos, I don't see the manipulations, they just criticise their way in and out of things 🙂

geminis are just 2 people...

so generally, air will manipulate to show their intelligence and keep civil
water will manipulate emotionally to hide intentions
earth will pretend for social acceptance
fire, for ego sake but they generally don't have the patience to play role for long

I should've added that being a part of the 'Great Pretenders' of the zodiac isn't a negative nor is it a positive. It just basically means whose the better bull-shitter 😉 Again, this can man either good or bad.


1. Geminis -- Yes, I agree. Gems can totally fool the pants off of most people. Even the ones who know them personally have a difficult time understand who they are. However, this makes perfect sense because they are the twins of the zodiac. Libra was close to getting this spot but there is something very real about a libra sun. Libras understand that they are what they are and they do not care, much like an Aqua.

2. Cancers -- this is due to how moody they are so this is a given. It depends on what their mood is like when if comes to how they present themselves.

3. Saggies -- My follow cusps get this nod but I'm not sure if they are aware. I've known some who would flat out condemn any wrong doing (much like a virgo) but then all of a sudden, their secrets may come out and they are doing the exact same thing but the situation may be different, if that makes sense.

4. All earth signs -- yes, thats right -- Virgo leading the way, along with taurus at a close second and capricorn is a seriously close third. After thinking about it, I had to put every single earth sign in this because its a fact that we capable of putting on the best face but when someone creeps, 'inside our closets' things are not what they seem. Taurus just seem to get away with alot more because they are venus ruled and people naturally love those who are venus ruled (like libras) regardless to what 🙂
