There are some parts of this article I agree with, and some I don't. I agree that we learn in school to be cautious, to care more about success than we do about actually stepping up and trying something challenging, but I also think that we learn how to set aside distractions in school and work towards a goal, something that the article addressed.
I’ve realized that there are two parts to education: passion and discipline. Passion is the ability to feel enthusiastic about learning something, to strive to make a difference in the world on one's own terms; discipline is about being able to take those steps. School focuses more on the latter than the former, which isn't a bad thing, but earns it a bad rap.
