“The would-be climber must be able to make himself liked … please his superiors — avoid showing independence except in those matters wherein independence is expected of him by his chiefs… the winners in the race have qualities which disincline them to allow others to be their true selves. Hence the winners snub all those who aim at adequate self-expression, speaking of them as pretentious, eccentric, biased, unpractical, and measuring their achievements by insincere standards.”
