There's your problem. I'm AWFUL :D I just make a serious effort every day to be less awful, and I've learned that when I try to trade my soul for huge success I get neither. But I know what it's like to go to the bad, and I know other people will do likewise. To me, the Theranos story feels very natural and plausible. And I hope I will always be prepared to choose poverty and failure rather than try to elbow my way into a place I'm not supposed to be. But there will always be someone who is prepared to lie, cheat or destroy just in order to beat me over here playing nice. Because they ARE no worse than me. But I don't have to give in to my worst nature…
