[English]
Why do people feel like they have failed—even when they are doing reasonably well?
In this episode of Good Game Podcast, DRE and Brofessor discuss how expectations shape our perception of success and failure. Inspired by Stoic philosophy and Aristotelian ideas, they argue that failure often occurs when expectations grow faster than our actions, resources, or preparation.
Through stories from their academic careers, they also reflect on how social media comparisons and unrealistic standards can distort our sense of achievement.
The episode reminds listeners that understanding our strengths, weaknesses, and limitations is essential for developing a sustainable “Good Game” in life.
