I don't know if this has been posted here before but this has helped many BS and WS that I know....<p>Chapter 1: I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find the way out.<p>Chapter 2: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I'm in the same place, but....it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.<p>Chapter 3: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in. It's a habit. Yet...my eyes are open, I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.<p>Chapter 4: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.<p>Chapter 5: I walk down another street.<p> Portia Nelson

I have a different take on this [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Chapter 1: I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find the way out. <p>Chapter 2: I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I walk around it. It isn't my fault. I the powers that be and I ask for help in fixing this hole.<p>Chapter 3: I walk down the same street. I see the hole is covered but still doesn't look solid. I walk around it. It's not my fault. I see I need help and I ask for it. I go to the source and I say this sidewalk needs fixed now, how can we get this done?<p>Chapter 4: I walk down the same street. I see that my effort has paid off and I am now walking on solid ground. I smile and think how glad I am that I fought so hard to have this hole repaired and I won't need to take a detour.
