Make sure you’re not succumbing to one of these five common fallacies:

1. The Hard-Work Fallacy: Believing that determined effort will compensate for your shortcomings
2. The Smarts Fallacy: Thinking that general intelligence translates into specific skills
3. The Magnification Fallacy: Assuming that your particular talent is somehow more special than your peers’
4. The Passion Fallacy: Believing you’re good at things just because you really enjoy them or because they are immensely important to you
5. The “Wishing Will Make it So” Fallacy: Convincing yourself that success (for you, anyway) will be easy

No, You Can’t Have It All
