Successful? I never give it a thought. What I am, is contented, I neither want nor need more than we already have.

I appreciate you saying so, Tbeck. Big time.Tbeck wrote:Good advice RK
No it isn't the same thing.Tbeck wrote:Herb, actually she said the same things that YOU have been saying throughout your posts. Merit based belief's, and a ladder to success are false narrative.
Funny but I was glancing at everyone's response and thinking that folk's read the op ed piece and didn't actually take the time to consider what the PROFESSOR was saying. INSTEAD they took the BAIT so neatly placed before them. This piece is very similar to the one I posted about grades, in fact the same except that I left out the race baiting portion. Read the responses and you'll have to conclude that the professor, nailed this, and folk's here got sucked into the agenda for race baiting.
Lechy, I wouldn't and don't evaluate myself on that level. I look forward to new opportunities each day, and as such have what I need. That is neither success or failure, or it could be either.
It makes little sense to pat yourself on the back, or beat yourself up over vague terminology. How about you?
No, I didn't agree with her. She says that teaching that the way to success is hard work is wrong. No matter what a person does, unless they are thieves, cheats or beggars, it takes hard work to be successful. Teaching otherwise is making the deadbeats. And that is what is wrong with the "participation trophy" idea.Tbeck wrote:Herb, you just AGREED with her AGAIN!
She didn't say don't work hard, she said get rid of merit based incentives. You know, "everyone gets a trophy"?
So what's there to disagree with since you've bashed that practice loads of times?
