The euphoric concept that everyone is special and everyone is a winner, even though no commitment and effort is made by the so called "special", creates delusive sense of victory. This leads to a dopamine addiction which everyone must get every now and then to feel good. This habit after some time, becomes a routine requirement amd sense of entitlement to get a quick appreciation without genuine effort. In the long term, this creates an army of narcissistic citizens who are used to a 'certificate of attendance'. In the long term such "baseless winning" prevents the need for grit and consistent efforts to achieve anything significant and meaningful since the mental reward system that push us to perform consistently towards a certain goal would have already received its dopamine. This is dangerous and one of the biggest inhibitor in the way of realising one's TRUE POTENTIAL. Agree?
Watched this with my children. This is an excellent high school graduation speech from David McCullough Jr., son of famous historian and author David McCullough. He argues against the "everyone is special" nonsense narrative that seems to have overtaken high schools and little league fields across the country. Here are a few of my favorite lines: "If everyone is special, then no one is. If everyone receives a trophy, trophies become meaningless....We've come to love accolades more than genuine achievement. We've come to see them as the point, and we're happy to compromise standards or ignore reality if we suspect that's the quickest way, or the only way, to have something to put on the mantlepiece...Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air, and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you." https://lnkd.in/eQRHNW_C

In the halls of high school memories, the echo of "Miss Rosemary Simra Zubair" reverberates, carrying the weight of recognition and admiration. It was a title bestowed in the midst of academic pursuits and youthful camaraderie, marking a moment of distinction and pride. Class 10, a chapter of growth and discovery, where each syllable of that name encapsulated dreams, aspirations, and the essence of a vibrant journey. #Throwback #class10 #memories.
