I took ballet for years as a kid and idolized Gelsey Kirland, but as an adult I found out that an eating disorder finally claimed her life.

I wrote an argument paper for a college course and I decided to argue for the benefits of steroid use. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to write an argument essay for a position which I did not support. I find steroid use abhorrent, but I was able to find enough material on the benefits of steroid use to where I was able to confidently argue for why it’s a good thing.

You definitely have to be deliberate in checking your motives as you strive for success. Where is the line you’d be willing to cross to become that person?
