For most of us, our bright promise will always fall short of being actualised… It will remain no more than a hope carried over from childhood, or a dream entertained as we drive along a motorway and feel our plans hovering above the horizon. Extraordinary resilience, intelligence and good fortune are needed to redraw the map of our reality…
Most of us stand poised on the edge of brilliance, haunted by the knowledge of our proximity, yet still demonstrably on the wrong side of the line, our dealings with reality undermined by a range of minor yet critical psychological flaws.
~ Alain de Botton, The pleasures and sorrows of work
