Don't underestimate the power of being lovable in a world that's trying to be impressive A friend claims my saying this to her was a help, so I thought I would pass it along. Most of us are trained to be right, to know all, to get as many gold stars as we can, and then display those stars as often as possible. In this way, we imagine we will protect ourselves from, say, having to slink out of the party after being asked what we do. Because with a gold star position and a phrase to follow it, we think, we will be safe or even convey how someone else will need to do the slinking.
