Those are pretty much the only two choices.
Being judged is uncomfortable. Snap judgments, prejudices, misinformation... all of these, combined with not enough time (how could there be) to truly know you, means that you will inevitably be misjudged, underestimated (or overestimated) and unfairly rejected.
The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored.
Up to you.

Posted: 20 May 2012 10:07 AM PDT Door-to-Door May Drive Irish Towards Yes Vote in Referendum on Merkozy Pact. In a hard-fought battle to convince Irish voters to back Europe's unpopular fiscal discipline treaty, Ireland's deputy finance minister has the task of convincing the leafy Dublin suburb of Templeogue.Nothing bad can possibly happen if this treaty is rejected. Accepting more bailout funds from the IMF or ESM would be the absolute worst thing for Ireland. Indeed, accepting funds from the Troika is one of the things that destroyed Greece, and it is pathetic that clueless, brainless, scare-mongering political shills for Brussels are now going door-to-door in an attempt to convince Irish voters the exact opposite. Heading into the Greek June 17 national elections, expect to see door-to-door fear-mongering in Greece as well.

Posted: 19 May 2012 11:42 PM PDT Those who think the answer to the unemployment problem is more education might be surprised to learn the Majority of Unemployed Attended College. For the first time in history, the number of jobless workers age 25 and up who have attended some college now exceeds the ranks of those who settled for a high school diploma or less.Those who graduated with a four-year degree fared better employment-wise but many of those still struggle with student loans. Many other end up underemployed in retail sector jobs as opposed to the curriculum they studied. Student loans are a trillion dollar problem, and growing every quarter. President Obama wants more student loans, but all that does is make many graduates debt slaves for the rest of their lives. The cost of education is preposterous and the solutions are easy to describe. Five Solutions
The deflationary overhang of student debt is enormous. Those in debt will postpone buying homes, getting married, starting families, and spending money in general. The only solution is to ensure kids to not get into massive debt in the first place. The way to achieve that is to drive down the cost of education. Sadly the Obama administration (like many before it and many at the state level as well) has done nothing but throw money at the problem, rewarding unions and administrators while making debt slaves of kids as education costs spiral out of control.

Of course, that's impossible.
There's no such thing as a true story. As soon as you start telling a story, making it relevant and interesting to me, hooking it into my worldviews and generating emotions and memories, it ceases to be true, at least if we define true as the whole truth, every possible fact, non-localized and regardless of culture.
Since you're going to tell a story, you might as well get good at it, focus on it and tell it in a way that you're proud of.
