Yeah, great question.

I actually have two key moments that stand out for me.

It all started when I'm about eight years old and I just received an 18 out of 20.

And so in France, where I grew up, it's one of the best grades that you can possibly get.

And so I was so excited I could barely contain myself.

And eventually my mom came to... picked me up from school and I told her the great news and she was so proud of me.

Alex, how long did it take you to get your next dose of achievement? When did that next dose hit? And how did you reconcile this achievement chasing brain with I'm leaving behind what I pursued?
