A Yale student once described himself and his peers as "excellent sheep"-brilliant, accomplished, and utterly lost. He'd aced every test, conquered every extracurricular, earned admission to one of the world's most prestigious universities. Yet something felt profoundly wrong. This wasn't just teenage angst or impostor syndrome. It was the recognition that he'd become exactly what the system demanded: flawless on paper, hollow inside. The phrase spread like wildfire across elite campuses because it named something everyone felt but few dared articulate. These weren't failures-they were success stories who'd discovered that success itself had become the problem.
