What Are You Going to Do With That? - William Deresiewicz |The Chronicle Review - The Chronicle of Higher Education
Nice!
“Moral imagination means the capacity to envision new ways to live your life.”
Really like the part about self-efficacy:
“…But what that Harvard student didn’t realize—and it was really quite a shock to her when I suggested it—is that there is a third alternative. True self-esteem, I proposed, means not caring whether you get an A in the first place. True self-esteem means recognizing, despite everything that your upbringing has trained you to believe about yourself, that the grades you get—and the awards, and the test scores, and the trophies, and the acceptance letters—are not what defines who you are.”
