But this is big picture stuff, and there are always exceptions to any big picture.

Be the exception, buck the trend, if you are someone is likable you they may have a chance. If you they are smart, but unlikeable, or even just dull, it won't likely happen. If you they look at that study and say I'm screwed so why bother, it definitely won't happen. General attitudes get changed one exception at a time.

Better?
