Over the holidays, I was
Over the holidays, I was at a party that I was feeling particularly insecure with myself. I don’t know why I was feeling insecure, but I was. It really emotionally affected me.
I had to reflect on why I was feeling this way. Here is a grown person, with a PhD, who is relatively successful, and I still can’t feel comfortable in my own skin. This really bothered me.
I think part of these insecurities have to do with the PhD job - you are never quite good enough, and no one tells you that you have done a great job.
However, I had to think about these emotions, and reflect on all of the things I accomplished. Most people could not accomplish those things, and that is why having a PhD is so rare.
My point is: You should own what you did. While you don’t see anything immediate rewards for what you did, you should be absolutely proud that you could do that. You are good enough.
Hold your head high the next time that you are feeling insecure. You have something to say that matters.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform
A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.
The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
