I don’t live up to my full potential. I’m getting a phd at what people claim is the best university in the country, and I’m still coasting like I did in HS, tapping out long papers right before they’re due. I have a specialty that few people know about, so everyone thinks I’m smart. But I can’t come up with a really good idea to save my life, and I don’t even do all the work I should.
Why is it so easy to live a lie? How do other people have work ethics?
