Article of the Day, from Pitt T. Maner III
This is a great article making the internet rounds: "Degree programs I did not get into': A Princeton professor's 'CV of failures"
"Most of what I try fails," Haushofers writes in the introduction to his resume, "but these failures are often invisible, while the successes are visible." People may think they fail because something is wrong with them, he writes, and not that failures and setbacks happen to everyone. "The world is stochastic, applications are crapshoots, and selection committees and referees have bad days," he writes.
