And so the list goes on over achievements that don’t seem to match the perceived potential of the achiever.

The lesson in the trivia is already sore-thump-sticking-out? I hope.

Have you discovered how much of a master key the low-key can be? Quietly opening doors where startling results are the only proof of your hard work?
