“make it”的“成功”含义还造就了一个名言/警语：Fake it till you make it.
“fake”的意思是“假装”，这句话的字面意思是：假装直到你成功。
假装什么呢?是假装自己很自信、很有能力、很乐观或者拥有自己暂时并不拥有的特质，那么最终你就会成功地变成这样或拥有这些(Accomplish anything you want by acting “as if”)。源自于Cognitive Behavior Therapy(认知行为疗法)，也是现代成功学推崇的一种做法。所以这句话可以理解为：假装你行，直到你真的行。或：不行装到行。
When feeling insecure in a new job you just have to “fake it till you make it.”
如果在新工作中感到信心不足，你要做的就是：
假装你行，直到你真的行。
在日常使用中，这句话往往多了调侃的意味，引用某个精通汉语的外国人的翻译就是：装逼装到你牛逼
比如：
I’ve been reading the Dictionary to increase
my vocabulary,
bought some new designer clothes,
a Louie Vuitton bag.
You know, fake it till you make it!
我一直在啃词典以增加词汇量，
买了一些新的设计师款的衣服，
还有一个路易威登的包。
你知道，装逼才能装到牛逼嘛!
