There's a real correlation between a society that tells people that they can do anything, and the existence of low self-esteem. So that's another way in which something quite positive can have a nasty kickback. There is another reason why we might be feeling more anxious --about our careers, about our status in the world today, than ever before. And it's, again, linked to something nice. And that nice thing is called meritocracy.

译文:奉承的话顺从了人的内心容易让人高兴,直率的话不能接受让人容易发怒。赏析:奉承的话虽然好听,但能让人迷失自我,直率的话虽然逆耳,但能让人清醒。我们少听阿谀的谗言,多听直率的忠言。
