Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Pablo Cruz

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

una recreación
No te colmarán ni un montón de dinero ni grandes riquezas. Nada te traerá la felicidad. Lo único que te satisfará/colmará es ser fiel a ti mismo y tomar tus propias decisiones.

creo que en este caso, y en general, ser fiel es más que ser sincero, lo incluye incluso, se puede ser sincero con uno mismo pero no ser fiel (a un ideal o a una aspiración de ser bueno), de hecho, pero ser sincero parece ser o es elemento o inicio para ser fiel o al menos intentar serlo,

ser fiel supone cumplirlo, no defraudar(se)
ser sincero es, como dice Ana Lydia, no engañarse

en una relación con otra(s) personas se ve con claridad: serles sincero y serles fiel serían cosas muy diferentes, con uno mismo quizá se exija uno más pero esto depende de la moral de cada cual (sobre todo aquí que se renuncia o se deja de lado el dinero y las riquezas)

de todas formas true remite a verdad, sinceridad, también, son sentidos muy próximos

ser sincero contigo mismo

Aunque ser fiel está bien, creo que en este contexto yo diría más "ser sincero" porque le da además el sentido de no engañarnos.
