Again on discipline.
After writing this post on the importance (or not) of discipline, I found this article (via Gala Darling ), very interesting and very true. I even wrote a letter to the director of Gioia , the magazine where I first read about Amy Chua, mentioning both the NY Times article and my post, and she was kind enough to publish my letter on the magazine. So, I got a comment from a lovely reader. She writes in italian, so let me synthetize it for non-italian speakers: she agrees with what I said, and writes she found herself more or less in the same situation after getting her degree. She reflects on the fact that her colleagues who were less brilliant school-wise, but have good networking skills, have had more succes than her in their careers. She is very "matter of fact", and did not write in a complaining tone: it's the voice of someone who just recognized how things work. I would really love to hear from people coming from other Countries. I wrote what I think about Italy
