"I did very well. Best interview I've ever had."
One of the most brilliant and ambitious people I know -- I'm talking, he's planned every ambitious minute of his life and has never made a wrong turn, has won all the recognition and awards you have or haven't heard, has an IQ of a kajillion points and Mensa wants to be him, kind of brilliant -- went to interview at Harvard. Let's call him Einstein.
Einstein felt very confident going into the interview. Not that he's got an ego or anything - just that he had a very healthy appreciation for where he stood against the competition, i.e., that he was pretty much the smartest kid in the world.
When his dad picked him up from the interview, he asked him how it went. Einstein reviewed in his mind how the interview went; all the accomplishments he discussed, the vision he provided for his future, how impressed his interviewer well. No detail left unaccounted for, everything had fallen perfectly into place. "I did very well. Best interview I've ever had."
Dad laughs, leans over to his son, and pulls off the long "L L L L" size sticker prominently displayed all the way down his shirt.
Poor Einstein. He did NOT get into Harvard.
