Monica Seles

"I was definitely a pleaser. Even until last year I always wanted everybody to like me," she says. "Then I realized: Just be who you are. You don't have to make everybody else happy if you're really not happy. I realized with my dad, when he was dying, that everything is so much a facade. The only time you're true to yourself is when you die. You have no pretensions. I don't want to wait until I'm dying to be like that."
