The ones Ive seen succeed without going to university seems all to have a chip on their shoulder and is still angry, and what I suspect worry, about it even decades later. They mention it out of the blue and seem angry thinking about it.
Seems kind of sad to me that, that is the price to pay...
I should mention that I such an experience myself with the driving licence. I did not need a driving license, because I live in a city with a great subway, but I was thinking about it. Took some mental energy on the regular. So I took it when I was around 27 years old and haven't driven our thought about it since.
Anyone else with similar experience?
- lazide 2y agoHighly successful people (like waaay outside the normal distribution) needed a reason to get there. There are far too many off-ramps to ‘comfortable’ along the way, for it to be any other way. Anger is as good a motivator as any, I guess. What else do you propose? Greed has a lot of history too. Love (at least genuine love) much less often, since love for oneself has to be there first - and that is rarely going to coincide with actual high performance.
