Success in life means doing that which is the very best for us, under the conditions in which we are placed.

The thrill of discovery never gets old.

I don't listen to what people say. I just go out there and perform.

There's a real correlation between a society that tells people that they can do anything, and the existence of low self-esteem. So that's another way in which something quite positive can have a nasty kickback. There is another reason why we might be feeling more anxious --about our careers, about our status in the world today, than ever before. And it's, again, linked to something nice. And that nice thing is called meritocracy.
