My 2c is that everyone develop their core VALUES, which never (or rarely change), and from there use your values to guide your life. A core value would be something simple like honesty; can you value honesty and be both a professional by day and a party animal at night? Yes, of course. The value never changes, but your "frame" or sub-personality may adapt to the environment. Nothing wrong with that. Adaptability is a quintessential human trait. My core values include honesty, fun (works day and night), passion, and respect. Cheers, Rebecca, this is a great post on branding and personal marketing, and I agree with most everything in there.

The very first time I had to do it, I sat on a hospital bed with Johannes across from me and the nurse beside me, and I cried.
