Recently, soul legend Sly Stone died at the age of 82. A Dutch narrative claimed his success had important drawbacks, like "drug use and erratic behavior". Apparently, success has like 20 negative factors. Hence, the article The Paradox of Success by Bill Cole. I do recognize several of those 20 factors. My career suggests I have had success.
