That only works if you lack a conscience. I think you were right to quote the word succeed!

- jstummbillig 4y agoFor most people that lean heavily towards this (we all somewhat do, we all have our pride from time to time) it's probably not a very conscious decision. Framed slightly differently it can easily be made a virtue, for example "be headstrong" or "stand up for what you believe in". It hard to spot, while/when you are doing it.
- prettyStandard 4y agoNot all advice applies all the time. I think what you're talking about here "stand up for what you believe in" is maybe a position you should take with others. While "kill your darlings" is a devil's advocate position you should take with yourself when you don't have someone giving you constructive criticism.
