- content: We're deathly afraid of that stabbing word 'pretentious,' the word that students
 
-   use to curse each other's ambition. It's a young person's word, a shortcut-to-thinking
 
-   word. I'm a big fan of pretension. It means 'an aspiration or intention that may
 
-   or may not reach fulfillment.' It doesn't mean failing upward. It means trying to
 
-   exceed your grasp. Which is how things grow.
