If the “prophets of doom” proved wrong, if there was a Harvard president alive to read his letter, Conant was confident about what the university would be. “You will receive this note and be in charge of a more prosperous and significant institution than the one over which I have the honor to preside ...

If someone wants to believe you don’t deserve that job, that fame, or that money, you can prove them wrong by being nothing short of impeccable at what you do. Of course, some will still hold onto their perceptions—they are often a result of deeply held confirmation biases—but taking care of your end is all you can really do. Etching out your existence...
