#4Oh, yeah? Well you should focus more on improving yourself than on the perceived faults in others!
Start with better definitions for things. Sort out goals from standards, maybe. Also, maybe rethink "anchor points." And the intermittent boldness, while possibly a metaphor for your struggle, is annoying.

#6The gist:
«And the crux of it is the word could have, the standards we hold ourselves to. This mix of guilt, insecurity and unrealistic standards is a major loss of productivity, and a major source of unhappiness.»
Embrace imperfection, because perfection is unattainable anyway.

#7Not being specific to this post, but I find writings that have bold or italic in almost every sentence harder to read.

#8Sorry, but the font and vaguely bolding are very, very off-putting. Especially when all but the last letter are bolded, or you have a link that includes the space after it, things start feeling wrong, somehow.
What I did read also had a lot of rambling. That's not necessarily a bad thing in general, as it's a valid style and probably easier to get out there than trying to compress and perfect, but I'm not sure it's going to get you much traction on HN.

That snippet resonated well with me. I think the primary thing I need to personally work on is insecurity. I'm currently learning R in a course I'm taking and I feel as if I'm moving at a snails pace when working on the programming assignments. It's demotivating since I feel like I should be moving faster and I end up feeling. The reality is that I have to accept that there aren't shortcuts and accept the grunt period before I become comfortable with the language. That's just part of life.
