but that's a lie unless you found a way to cheat yourself through it.

but your self-worth will last forever.

What encompasses one's self worth, honesty to myself comes to mind for me and what led to that for me was once someone saying to me over and over again I'd be nothing without them, after I left I set forth to make that not true. Making that not true meant I had to honestly do something, there would be no cheating my way through any aspects to succeeding as that would give them another excuse to throw out that I couldn't have done it without someone else's help or cheating my way through it. It has proven to be a failure trying to honestly due anything because everyone else either cheats or finds someone else capable of enforcing their cheating to the top....the only person who gets run over is the person trying to honestly prove you can single-handedly be a success because it throws a wrench into the argument it can't be done.
