There are individuals who have various modes of appearances; each mode is selectively applied based on a purpose one has in mind. Just as one carefully chooses dress codes to suit various occasions some train themselves to appear to be having a set of values, behavior patterns and at times even belief systems. These individuals behave differently with different people, as the innerforce that drives them is not a set of well found values but the desire to achieve certain short term goals.

However, the words and actions of these people betray them at one moment or another, unless they are exceptionally talented in switching between modes. So it is imperative that we take time to get to know a person especially when we are on the look out for persons who will play significant roles in our personal or professional lives.

At the same time, we need to evaluate our own personalities and be sure that we do not make others victims of our ad hoc modes.
