" "In addition to saddling many young people with massive debt for decades, studies have shown that a college education really doesn’t guarantee success. And does a college degree guarantee high performance on the job? Not necessarily. Times are changing fast. While Internet giant Google looks at good grades in specific technical skills for positions requiring them, a 2014 New York Times article detailing an interview with Laszlo Bock, Google’s senior vice president of people operations, notes that college degrees aren’t as important as they once were. Bock states that “When you look at people who don’t go to school and make their way in the world, those are exceptional human beings. And we should do everything we can to find those people.” He noted in a 2013 New York Times article that the “proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time” — on certain teams comprising as much as 14 percent.

Exercise: The Eight Statements The simple set of eight statements below will help you gauge where you are on the path to bending reality. Indicate how true each statement is for you by selecting one of the choices offered. There are no right or wrong answers. If you’re still in the starting gate, no worries. We’ll be talking more about how to get there. 1.I love my current job to the point where it does not feel like work. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 2.My work is meaningful to me. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 3.There are often moments at work that make me so happy the time just flies by. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 4.When things go wrong, I don’t worry at all. I just know something good is on the horizon. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 5.I feel excited about my future, knowing even better things are always on their way. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 6.Stress and anxiety don’t seem to faze me much. I trust in my ability to attain my goals. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 7.I look forward to the future because I have unique and bold goals on the horizon. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE 8.I spend a good amount of time thinking excitedly about my visions for the future. NOT AT ALL TRUESOMETIMES TRUEVERY TRUE If you answered “Very true” to statements 1 through 4, you are likely happy in the now. If you answered “Very true” to statements 5 through 8, you likely have a good vision for your future. If you can answer “Very true” for all eight statements, you’re likely in the state of bending reality. Most people, however, find that they tend to be able to answer “Very true” to either the happiness-related statements or to the vision-related questions, but not to both.
