imagine

Imagine that you consistently sacrifice your own needs to meet the needs of a group of people.

Imagine that you pour all of your creativity, energy, and drive into a group of people.

Imagine that you rationalize all of your behavior with a "it will all pay off in the end" mentality.

Next, imagine that someone has designed a way to measure people's learning. Imagine that it is very important to some. 

Imagine that you don't believe in this measure, but you do believe people who have learned and grown will perform well, regardless.

Imagine that your group of people is subjected to this measure.

Imagine that you say the words "we are so lucky" and "have lots of fun."

Imagine you hate yourself for it.

Then, imagine watching as your group of people fails.
