I Iz Smarts

Via an interesting post on metafandom I came accross this magazine article about praise which really struck a chord with me, the whole "If I'm smart, then either I do well without trying or am an utter failure" thing which I have seen in myself and other bright kids.

Guh. Wedding in less than a month. Utterly sick of organising, wish it was all over. Write my vows today and am thus feeling very soppy :)

And now, off to do more organising...

I think there's a significant difference between "You're not dumb" and "You're smart, we expect Great Things" :)
