Pressure to Succeed

The pressure to succeed will bind you long before your work can set you free.

 

You must get all As, earn at least two science degrees, publish in top journals, have a gainful job, own a house, own a car, know two or more languages, get married, have perfect children, maintain top physical health, play a sport, eat organic, save $700 a month for retirement, have no debt, have good credit, own a cool dog, maintain an even temperament, vacation in the mountains, and be beautiful all before you are 30.

 

Or, you can be good to yourself and take it one step at a time.

This picture is dedicated to all my fellow graduate students.
