Frustratingly I have often found that people around me want to impose it upon me: many of my peers and even my students think that I am remarkably young to have gotten where I am, and they are not satisfied when I tell them it was due mostly to hard work. When I tell them instead it was due to a combination of good luck and hard work (which may be true), or due to good luck alone (which definitely isn't), then they are satisfied. It's frustrating that they don't want to acknowledge the hard work I did to get where I am. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
