I give up- pretensiousness wins!

Candidness would win one day. This has been the mantra which i have chanted every day of life. But candidly speaking, the world has proved me wrong. While preparing for the Personal interview round of the MBA entrance exams i got to know that people who are straight in their answers, those who declare to the world that what they present is what they truly are, are the ones who lose out the most. If i say that when i took up engineering i was immature and could not judge if the decision was right or wrong for me then i have a high chance of being grabbed by the neck and thrown out of the institute. But if i cook up the story that i had planned in my tenth that i would be the greatest techno manager in this world and engineering was taken up to satisfy the techno part and an MBA would equip me to be a manager then nine out of ten times i would be greeted with open arms. similarly if you haven't faced any significant event in your like death of a close relative which has changed your life then you are encouraged to take a leaf out of a spinsters life and learn how to tell a tale. Now its unfathomable to me as to why a person should portray what he is not. why can't a man with limited abilities but immense inner drive be allowed to enter the so called heavenly gates of an mba school? Why is it that rhetoric is given preferance over candidness? Its frustrating to know that a person who has never given a serious thought about what to do in life, who by the sheer innate ability and not any planning has reached so far is allowed to go further while a man who eats, sleeps and dreams MBA is not allowed to follow his dreams because he is true to himself and to the world and is not willing to place mask over himself. I have read, met and seen such cases and after experiencing the preparations first hand i say that I GIVE UP! PRETENTIOUSNESS WINS!
