The Superpower Myth: Why Being Great at One Thing Isn’t the Only Path

This post from Princeton professor Arvind Narayanan is a powerful reminder that you don’t need a “superpower” to be successful. You don’t even need to be the smartest person in the room.

What matters more is how your unique combination of skills work together.

He aptly points out that even if you’re not the best at any single skill, how you use them together—how they complement each other—are what will make you successful and standout in your field. What he says about learning from your wins (not your failures), and finding your niche are also excellent insights for anyone feeling outmatched or unsure of where they fit. Worth a read. 👇
