re: #515 Obdicut

In what way is it unrealistic?

I liked Scratch Beginnings a lot. However, it was kind of baffling how often his conclusions didn’t seem related to his experiences. He seemed to discount the importance of his most important asset far too much: his intelligence.

As I was saying to my dad last night, I’m really not so worried about the fates of smart and motivated people. I’m worried about the honest dude who’s not that bright and a little bit shy and unassertive. The meek, so to speak.

It’s a dilemma.

I can go into a place and immediately spot the hard-working employee who is underemployed given their abilities and their general positive attitude, who are there for the reasons you cite - a bit shy, unassertive, lacking in a certain confidence in themselves.

But, how to ‘save’ them all?
