If you get ahead for years and years because you got dealt good - TopicsExpress



          

If you get ahead for years and years because you got dealt good cards, its not particularly likely that you will learn that in the real world, achievement is based as much on attitude and effort as it is on natural advantages. In the real world, Nobel prizes and Broadway roles and the senior VP job go to people who have figured out how to care, how to show up, how to be open to new experiences. Our culture is built around connection and charisma and learning and the ability to not quit in precisely the right moments. But thats not easy to sort for in school, so we take a shortcut and resort to trivial measures instead.
