Thank you as wel, Kitty. As you can probably tell I’m a huge fan of your writing. One thing I think is important for all writers is being genuine and honest, or at least those are two of my core values.
I want to share a quote from a Princeton Professor on his CV of Failures he put out to inspire people and remind them to not take failures and a lack of success personally, given how many times he failed:
“Most of what I try fails, but these failures are often invisible while the successes are visible,” Haushofer told The Washington Post last year.
“I have noticed that this sometimes gives others the impression that most things work out for me. As a result, they are more likely to attribute their own failures to themselves, rather than the fact that the world is stochastic, applications are crapshoots, and selection committees and referees have bad days.”
