One nitpick: we never asked for participation trophies. It was the last generation that invented that and foisted it on it. Neither I nor any one of my peers ever liked "everyone's a winner" day, but when you're kids in school you kinda go along with what the adults say. The rest, I agree with you. I just think it's important to make it clear that, especially when you're young and inexperienced, you're much more susceptible to other people telling you your job is your life. Not that it's impossible to get past that, other people feeding us that garbage, but most of us aren't that clued into the world at a young age.
