Steve sent me this link to 43folders listing of Bennet’s Principles of Underachievement:
- Life’s too short.
- Control is an illusion.
- Expectations lead to misery.
- Great expectations lead to great misery.
- Achievement creates expectations.
- The law of diminishing returns applies everywhere.
- Perfect is the enemy of good.
- The tallest blade of grass is the surest to be cut.
- Accomplishment is in the eye of the beholder.
Remarkably insightful post as well and I recommend you read it.
