And the man on the cell phone who used the gas station "in" and "out" driveways as a U-turn.

It's okay for you not to be an overachiever in Achieverville Tue, 27 May 2008 00:00:00 MDT
Dear Carolyn: I go to an Ivy League school. In general, I like it here - the people I spend time with are passionate and interesting. I've been slowly realizing I'm really not the ambitious type, and while I'm passionate about a lot of things, I'm not that driven. I derive much more satisfaction from day-to-day life than the glamour of accomplishing big and exciting things (which are sincerely big and exciting; I don't begrudge my friends their successes), and I think I'd like a life of working a 9-to-5 job in environmental protection, volunteering and hanging out. I haven't found my grand passion yet, and I think that can be OK. Right?
