Namely, this study.
...Normally, when I read studies, I go, "That's not me. This doesn't describe me at all." I tend to be the anecdote that falls through the data, you know? Even in areas where one would think I could say, "Yeah, I see myself there" - anything out of PSYCH 318, say - by and large, no.
This? This is me. Even though intellectually I know that effort is really what makes people succeed, it's a very hard mentality to break.
But I really should break it.
Arts & Letters Daily is fantastic, by the way.
