Of course not, but telling these individuals that they are outliers and shouldn't give this as advice on "how to be successful" will improve things. They desperately need some of that humbling self critique that we ordinary, impostor syndrome suffering people do all the time and we can help them!
- Legogris 7y agoWhat I'm trying to say is, stop letting others telling you how you should live your life and figure out what works for you. You may be an outlier in some aspects and so even the advice from "normals" won't apply.

I'm no entrepreneur but I think the article is saying that this is easier said then done when you want to do something you are passionate about, eg. changing the world with some new software thing, and everyone who have done something similar is acting like the examples in the article. Like that farmgirl article doesn't once ask if her "seemingly superhuman work ethic" is an example to others or rather should be presented as how an extreme sports practitioner often is: "you are clearly an adrenaline junkie! laughs but really, how do you cope with the stress of endangering your health just to free climb that large rock wall".
