      I'll preface this by saying I hate those schleppy chain mails and forwarded video clips about how butterflies and puppies will change your life. I have neither the time nor the patience for sappy pop-psych "Think Positive!" BS. If your life is in a tailspin and you "Think Positive!" the only difference it will make is the vacuous smile on your corpse after you crash and burn. There is so much empty-headed feel-good advice being strewn about we could all swim in it. I don't listen to it, I don't watch it, and I don't respond to it. 
 Now that you know where I'm coming from... THIS is good advice and worthy of your attention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tIyt8oSLVs I encourage you to watch it. It's the 10 minute condensed version of the lecture he gave his students in September of 2007. The full version runs one and a quarter hours and is available for viewing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo | |

      Amazing. 
 The human spirit applied, is a powerful thing. I've believed for a little while that life is just a series of choices. Before I realized that.. I made more bad choices then good ones. Doing the next right thing is a whole bunch easier..Regardless of what is going on outside of my control. | |
