I learned more from this post than from all of the finance classes I took in school combined.

Seconded.

Well said, but my opinion is that you should move away from thinking that success is a "positive performance review".

I've found that "work hard" and "do your best" work well in combination with the other two thoughts, not so much on their own. It's a package.

This is starting to remind me of health and fitness "advice". Every day there's a new article "debunking" yesterday's claims, in favor of something that will be "debunked" in another week.

Here's some advice - work hard, do your best, say "yes" to as many opportunities as possible, and be kind. You'll make out in the end.

Didn't we just have a story on HN claiming that introverts make the best something-or-other? I'm not even trying to keep up with things like this anymore.
