【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 thor of the book The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth believes what makes people unpopular in high school, mainly an unwillingness to obey, tends to translate into success as an adult. Robbins has spent the past decade analyzing the behavior of high school students. She found the things that make a student different make them a target. But in adulthood and outside of the school setting, the things that make you different make you interesting, fun, and often successful, she told the UK?s Daily Mail. She researched the qualities that people found most valuable in adults. The top qualities are: creativity, freethinking, vision, authenticity, selfawareness, honesty, curiosity, love of learning, and courage. Those are qualities that are far more likely to be found in school outsiders than in the popular kids, she said. According to Robbins, when people are in with a popular crowd, they are more likely to hide aspects of their identity in order to fit into the group. As she put it to Yahoo. corn, You are more likely to have goals of social dominance (強(qiáng)勢(shì) ) rather than forming actual true friendships. You are more likely to let other people pressure you into doing things. None of those things is admirable or useful as adults. Meanwhile, in the eyes of Robbins, the outsiders are much more selfaware and much braver than the popular students. They are brave because they are sticking to being themselves in a challenging environment. There are many celebrity examples of progress from unpopularity to later fame.
