 I see much of what we picture when describing success in life or work as measured by the quantifiable, such as someone’s salary or number of awards. The quantifiable is often paired with the qualitative, including if one went to a recognizable school and if they worked at a particular firm. There is space within this narrative to include if one overcame hardship and struggles – but the “overcome” part is key where there is usually a character arc of definitive growth. Success is often reduced to the tangible that can be presented in a neat manner, void of any failures and countless nights spent wondering if one can be enough or live up to expectations placed on us. I noticed this framing of success is widespread, including within law school.
