Sure, it's nice to look on the bright side...it's also nice to do it in a way that's not trite or condescending, but maybe that's too much to ask. The bright side of “doing badly, really badly” is that now you truly know that those other people who were doing badly aren't just lazy, like you'd previously thought! Because, YOU aren't lazy. But you still get to keep your sanctimoniousness, thank goodness. Don't have a trust fund? It's a good thing, because you won't be lazy sitting around waiting for your next cheque! Because every person with a trust fund is a lazy bum. This book is probably really nice if you want to still feel better than other people when you're down on your luck.
Plus there are ads for this book everywhere on the TTC and I can't escape it.
