Many responders look indignent which you additionally can think of of certainly one of these question. whether it relatively is actual! Over all, extra clever men are extra useful, and extra useful men marry extra captivating women human beings. the youngster is a mix of the two. you will see a lot a captivating human beings in larger type - the place intelligence (yet in addition brutality) concerns, and those men choose for the captivating women human beings from notwithstanding type. captivating women human beings in decrease classes are extra probably to marry right into a extra physically powerful type. the fewer captivating are in basic terms chanced on suitable as long as they stay of their type. I even have considered this myself: acquaintances contained in the village the place I grew up (decrease type) locate very almost any lady suitable. NB: elegance isn't subjective; there are some familiar criteria of elegance, in spite of the indisputable fact that no longer all human beings likes to admit. NB; the main in call for (and unsightly) geniuses have had to artwork extra durable during their lives, precise by using fact they did no longer have the seems. transforming into a in call for genius is likewise the effect of stressful artwork.

the first is that you have a fixed identity and cannot be anything other than that. it implies that you have no freedom and can only do what your nature tells you to.
the second implies that your identity is not as fixed, but does have limits. it seems to be saying that you have some freedom to be what you want to (who i can be) but that this doesn't mean you have total freedom to be anything.
they're really similar, but with slightly different implied meanings. the first emphasizes the "i am" part, making the "can be" subservient to it. what you can be is based on what you are. the second emphasizes the "can be" part, and makes the "i am" secondary in importance. what you are is based on what you can be (but with the restriction implied by the "only.")
good thought provoking question!

The first statement :You are what you have actually done.Some say if only I had the opportunity I would have achieved so many things.This statement negates that idea.
Some people give an excuse for their inaction saying I am not that material.The second statement states their stand.

it is not that deep at all, but it does involve matters of freedom/liberty vs biological/sociological determinism (never to be resolved). What both say together is: you can be (behave, act, do, achieve, earn etc) whatever you want, but you can want only things/features/characteristics that are possible to achieve. simple example: if you're 5 feet tall you can't really be the best NBA player of any given season.

I can only be who i am - rather than people judging who you for who they want you to be, they need to accept you for who you are.........
I am only who i can be.......you are only making as much of yourself as you think you can be.......
but here is another theory.... Be all that you can be, but only be as much as you can be with out losing who you are........

I must be true to myself. I am what I am, which is me. A person can act like they are this or that but, they are being fake.
