I once told a woman I was dating that her goal in life was unrealistic and she needed to give up on it. I regret it - I still think I was right, but I was also such a jerk!
She wanted to win a Nobel Prize, but the conversation was about a shorter-term goal (getting a professor position) that she took for granted. I told her she would be lucky to receive even one job offer, let alone the multiple offers she expected to choose from.
