Saul Kripke is an example of this. Terrified of publishing in case he doesn't live up to his immense talent.

The Kripke metaphor is very appropriate in this context; it can be argued that he did most of his 'important' work at such an early age that he has yet to do anything to substantially eclipse it. Although, if I'm completely candid, I still don't understand most of his stuff.

Love this article. About 7 years ago, I found a friend who was completely focused on becoming a better leader and we both tried to improve together.

It has made a huge difference.

I love this article. I have several friends that became frozen because they were bright and afraid to fail.
