Annoyed by all the "feel-good" pieces out of wherever. Push "all the bad things" into one little scapegoat and suddenly the rest of life becomes nothing but good. I mean, that's great for the people for whom it works (if there are any), but, guess what, when "the rest of us" want to "emulate that person", we get a few steps and realize we can't be that person because all of us are imperfect. It'd be more inspiring if these kinds of posts also included existing "skeletons-in-closet" to make the person seem more mortal. And not the interview answer "I'm too much of a perfectionist" skeleton. What does it really take? "My wife resents my success." "My kid doesn't even like/know me." "My grad student actually did all the work." "I'm sleep deprived and suicidal most of the time." "Half my statistics are lies." Seriously, nobody has a perfect life. What does it really take to make (at least) a "successful" one?
