New job
Something people wouldn't get stressed about if anybody thought it would be easy. They would go in to work relaxed and ready to party.
A new job isn't meant to be easy, so nobidy would think it was going to be. A job you've had years of experience at is a job you already know hasn't been easy, since you wouldn't get paid if it was. Most things in life worth doing aren't going to be easy either, and people don't think they will be, especially not when they're realistic about them.

Honest
Being honest because people would find out who you are if you weren't honest isn't really the same thing as being honest or direct when you have every option or oppurtunity not to be.
Turning in a bunch of money when you could keep it doesn't make somebody an honest person, since it's one action. A cop who turns in a million dollars has bought his right to do anything corrupt he wants to do by making himself look like he is honest all the time (which is what honesty really is, honesty at all times, when nobody cares or pays attention). The truth is, nobody is honest one hundred percent of the time, it's really a matter of what degree of honesty somebody usually gives you when they have the option to be dishonest or many other things that lets you know what degree of trustworthy kind of person they are.

Fight like you never lost
Fighting like you've never been knocked down or lost isn't the same as never having been knocked down, lost, or fallen to the ground. Somebody somewhere knows who you are, and who you were, no matter who you tell people you are.
Fight like you never lost long enough, and though people aren't going to underestimate you, they are going to research you more than they would if you had been straightforward, direct, or honest.

Size of the dog in the fight
The size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but because knowing which limits are imagined and which ones are a reality is a factor, so is the size of a dog in a fight, to some degree. The size of the dog in a fight doesn't determine what the dog really is, that depends on the dog, not on its size. Weakness isn't a size based trait, and neither is how much fight is in something, those traits depend on the individual and not on the size of the individual. Not all smaller dogs have more fight than larger dogs, and not all of them have more fight than mouth even, it depends on the dog. The same is true for larger dogs. Not all larger dogs are underestimaters because they are larger. Recklessness and overconfidence aren't exclusive to only larger dogs, or only smaller dogs. It depends on the dog.
Size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but it's a factor. Smaller dogs are not without faults any more than larger dogs are. Hopefully no dog loses it's humility and thinks it's changed into a different dog than the one it was as a pup, no matter it's size or experience (recent or past).

Poser
Some females want to look and sound like guys, when the guys are athletes, soldiers, or astronauts, something positive. They don't want to look or sound like guys who are dumbasses, losers, junkies, or goofuses as often, the same ones that wanted to look like astronauts often turn into cowards and let some male look like the loser.
The female poser wanted a male image, trying to say that it was equality, but in reality she didn't want the full range of the experience that went with being male, especially the negative things. She didn't want more of her kind committing suicide because they were losers, the way males have done for a long time. She didn't want more of her kind to look weak to the world, since to her only males could be cowards.

Truth
Truth doesn't hurt, it's actually painless. There are many things that hurt more than truth, and most of them make you bleed, so lies and people rejecting you aren't included in a list of them.

Poser
The girl wanted to look like a boy, as long as the boy was an athlete or an astronaut and not a loser. If the boy she was trying to look like was a loser, she would turn into a coward and let a male look like the loser. All of that could be avoided by being yourself, instead of living your life as a poser.
