Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? ~Fanny Brice
Does your title come before your name or does your name come before your title? Take a step back from the mirror. Look at yourself really well and ask, "Who are you?" Once you've responded to the question, evaluate if you are truly happy with the answer. If you are...great. If not....time to check yourself. It amazes me how people will not only define themselves by the title on their business cards, but forget who they once were without it. They go through post-collegiate life (heaven forbid if it is considered an elite institution) stacking titles like rungs on a ladder, moving up until everyone else is squarely beneath their nose (in their minds). They begin passing judgement as if it were a yearly certification to maintain all the titles and material gains in their life. Who or what have you become?
