Some ‘conventions’ are really & truly confusing. I mean, you’ve to wonder, for instance, was man, as per design, set up to fail? Seriously.

Otherwise, how is it that one is unrelentingly nudged to succeed, & then told not to be a slave to success?

I understand the issue with being a slave to success. You& #39;ve to be a perfectionist to be one; & perfectionism is a self-defeating behavior.

Also, I know that perfectionism could keep one irrationally focused on failure; potentially dooming one to a lifetime of doubt & depression

Here’s my point: if your & #39;advocacy& #39;, whatever it is, does not factor setbacks, compromises etc, re-evaluate it.

Afterwards, re-evaluate yourself. Cos then, you dont even qualify for slave-to-success tag. Whatever you& #39;d be, I dont care. But silly won& #39;t be far-off.

Better listen!

Adaptability is the & #39;why & how& #39; we survive. And if there& #39;s a thing perfectionism does, it’s rigidifying behavior.

Twitter activists apparently crave to be ‘perfect’ activists; I think they assume that to imply rigidly unrelenting & uncompromising.

Slave-to-success is thus born
