Thanks for the encouraging view, Thomas! Alas, despite being clearly a genius (my Mom always said I was) I have settled for an ordinary life. It was easier and more enjoyable...
Howe’s research is striking—it shatters the myth we were told about success and greatness. It’s essential to spread this message, not because everyone has to be great, but because everyone should be able to be great.
Howe's research really flips the script on talent mythology. The perseverence piece stands out because most people quit right when the compounding effects of practice start to kick in. I mentored some folks early in their careers and the ones who stuck with it werent necessarily the smartest but they had this stubborn refusal to stop improving.

Good sir 🤝
I think a lot of people are genuinely afraid to believe they can be above average.
Couldn’t agree more.
Marianne Williamson said it well,
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.

Well said! And I agree—the ordinary is wonderful.
