I like this goal! What's the best way you've found that helps poke fun at yourself?
If I could ask, what kind of prediction about what will make you happy have you been the most wrong about?
- hawkharris 13y agoHaha. That's a great question. I try to poke fun at my predictions about everything — from relationships to technology — but if I had to name the one I was most wrong about, I'd point to a recent career-related prediction. I enjoy writing, and a few years ago I stumbled on an awesome opportunity: writing tech articles for MIT. I thought I was a great writer who knew a lot about technology. I thought I'd be surrounding myself with other talented, like-minded writers. I realize in retrospect that this was an egotistical thought. Honestly, writing for MIT made me feel stupid almost every day, but I learned to appreciate not knowing. I felt happy approaching each day of the job as if I were a student rather than pretending to know everything.
