In recent years, I talk probably a lot less, but not quite the zero level of Angela Duckworth. The problem with the 3% role is that it could become 100%. Listen to you, listen to that sneer in your voice,. That's what I'm worried about. It's like, you know, I can't say what you say. You are capable of getting a PhD in psychology. You're capable of having a family and functioning in all these different ways. And yet you're not capable of saying next to a stranger next to you on an airplane: It's been really nice talking to you.
Are those travelers on their laptops just showing off? Why does V8 taste better at 35,000 feet? And why won't Angela chat with her seatmate?
