A TALE OF TWO SYNDROMES On the first day of December 2015, Halla Tómasdóttir got a call she never expected. The roof of Halla’s house had just given way to a thick layer of snow and ice. As she watched water pouring down one of the walls, the friend on the other end of the line asked if Halla had seen the Facebook posts about her. Someone had started a petition for Halla to run for the presidency of Iceland. Halla’s first thought was, Who am I to be president? She had helped start a university and then cofounded an investment firm in 2007. When the 2008 financial crisis rocked the world, Iceland was hit particularly hard; all three of its major private commercial banks defaulted and its currency collapsed. Relative to the size of its economy, the country faced the worst financial meltdown in human history, but Halla demonstrated her leadership skills by guiding her firm successfully through the crisis. Even with that accomplishment, she didn’t feel prepared for the presidency. She had no political background; she had never served in government or in any kind of public-sector role. It wasn’t the first time Halla had felt like an impostor. At the age of eight, her piano teacher had placed her on a fast track and frequently asked her to play in concerts, but she never felt she was worthy of the honor—and so, before every concert, she felt sick. Although the stakes were much higher now, the self-doubt felt familiar. “I had a massive pit in my stomach, like the piano recital but much bigger,” Halla told me. “It’s the worst case of adult impostor syndrome I’ve ever had.” For months, she struggled with the idea of becoming a candidate. As her friends and family encouraged her to recognize that she had some relevant skills, Halla was still convinced that she lacked the necessary experience and confidence. She tried to persuade other women to run—one of whom ended up ascending to a different office, as the prime minister of Iceland. Yet the petition didn’t go away, and Halla’s friends, family, and colleagues didn’t stop urging her on. Eventually, she found herself asking, Who am I not to serve? She ultimately decided to go for it, but the odds were heavily stacked against her. She was running as an unknown independent candidate in a field of more than twenty contenders. One of her competitors was particularly powerful—and particularly dangerous. کانال خلاصه کتاب (https://t.me/luminous_bookclub) کانال موزیک (https://t.me/luminous_music) کانال مکالمات روزمره (https://t.me/foroughpapi) پیج اینستاگرام: Luminous__english Castbox channel: luminous english 📚هایلایت قسمت 22 کتاب Think Again ✅Tale: داستان ✅Expect: انتظار داشتن ✅Thick: ضخیم ✅Give way to: راه دادن به ✅Petition : کمپین ✅Run for presidency : کاندید ریاست جمهوری شدن ✅Investment : سرمایه گذاری ✅Firm: شرکت ✅Crisis: بحران ✅Rock: تکان دادن ✅Particularly : مخصوصا، بسیار ✅Major: اصلی ✅Private: خصوصی ✅Commercial : تجاری ✅Default(v): زیر بدهی رفتن ✅Currency: پول رایج ✅Collapse: متلاشی شدن ✅Relative to: نسبت به ✅Demonstrate: نشان دادن ✅Accomplishment:دستاورد ✅Presidency:ریاست جمهوری ✅Public-sector:بخش عمومی ✅Imposter:متقلب ✅Frequently: بصورت متناوب ✅Fast track:دور تند ✅Worthy: ارزشمند ✅Honor:افتخار ✅Stake:ریسک ✅Self-doubt:عدم اعتماد به نفس ✅Familiar:آشنا ✅Massive:بزرگ ✅Pit:حفره ✅Recital:تک نواری ✅Candidate:کاندید ✅Recognize: ✅To be convinced:بر این باور بودن ✅Persuade:قانع کردن ✅Ascend:ترفیع پیدا کردن ✅Prime minister:نخست وزیر ✅Urge sb on: تشویق کردن کسی به انجام کاری ✅Eventually: در نهایت ✅Ultimately:در نهایت ✅The odds were stacked against her:احتمالات به ضررش بود ✅Independent:مستقل ✅Contender: مدعی، رقیب ✅Competitor:رقیب ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
