The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.

You have to spend some energy and effort to see the beauty of math.

Sometimes you may feel like you’re not good enough, but you are.

Leadership is about creating more leaders, not more followers.
