When Success Steals Your Evenings: Redefining Ambition Without Losing Yourself

You work hard. You care. You want to grow, do more, be more. There’s pride in that—wanting to succeed. But sometimes, the line between ambition and self-abandonment starts to fade. You tell yourself it’s just a season, just this project, just one more quarter. Before you know it, you’re always tired, always behind, always somewhere else in your mind—even when you’re finally off the clock. That’s…

You think Lucky Cyan saw Nice in his white and gold and perceived as the epitome of perfection

See someone performing for the audience. He didnt wear a mask like her but knew that smile plastered on his face was a mask all the same

And felt for him

--

Also the fact that she and Lin Ling are the same age and had take up the face of perfection because that's what the people wanted.

And they both threw it away to be themselves thanks to and because of someone they care about

I think

Didn't Jack's reasoning develop Daddy Issus in him ??

You mean his extreme perfectionism? It contributes to it, yeah. Kind of a chicken and egg scenario tbh, hard to say which came first. Did Jack's fear of disappointing his father predate his perfectionism, and ultimately lay the foundation of its existence? Or was he born believing he always needs to be more than he is, and that impostor syndrome ended up creeping into his thoughts and feelings regarding his father? Who can say? He's not doing himself any favors regardless. In this situation, Jack is his own worst enemy. His feelings of inadequacy are like a perpetual motion machine. Always devising and "fulfilling" its own prophecies

If they would just sit down and talk to each other man-to-man, it would make a big difference. But Burning Spice hasn't been any good at talking to people in a long time (no matter how much better he's gotten as a person, there are just some things you lose that you'll never get back. Not after living a life like that), and Jack, well-intentioned little martyr that he is, never likes to talk about his problems. He buries them deep and focuses on doing right by others instead, all the time and forever. It's not healthy. It would hit a lot closer to home if his father sat him down, looked him in the face and told him he doesn't always need to put himself last, and he doesn't need to be afraid of not being good enough, because he is. He always has been.

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

Q: Who do you think will score the first goal tonight? Jack: I’m gonna say… I’m gonna go: Matthew Tkachuk, or Jake Guentzel.

[iinryer]

thinking about @gayeddieagenda’s post about eddie answering a different question than he’s being asked… thinking about bobby saying “you sure we’re not talking about a different father and son?” and eddie jumping to saying he misses christopher…. thinking about eddie always hiding behind his kid when he feels tender… thinking about him not being able to for much longer….

To me this confirms four things:

Esteban was forced to step down, using the Haas test as hostage, because Briatore wanted to test Jack.

Jack has now only ONE race to prove himself to be able to keep his seat in 2025.

Franco is still being considered for the Alpine seat.

Be wary of anything Oliver Oakes says. Remember he said this: “And from the other side you could look at it it’s advantageous to get Jack in the team, working with everybody – and get those butterflies gone now, rather than next year in Australia.”

Can I say something without being murdered by an angry mob? I don't think Zane has superhuman abilities. I hate when people make him the "perfect, good at everything" ninja. You're literally stripping him of his humanity by taking away his most human trait - not being perfect. I don't think he's stupid or weak by any means, he's a nindroid, it makes sense for him to be naturally a quick learner because he's programmed to perform better than humans. But I think he's only slightly above average in terms of smarts and/or skill sets, especially pre titanium Zane. And expecting him to act 100% perfect all the time takes away a big part of his character, which is being seen as more than just a machine. He's programmed to act as human, and being human means you will never EVER instantly be good at something and you'll never be absolutely perfect in everyones eyes at something. I'm begging you guys to understand where to balance Zane in-between machine and human because for some reason despite the amount of people saying Zane is more than a talking toaster, I still see the majority acting as if him not being human means he's completely perfect and unable to make mistakes.
