dragonchild,
I'm wondering if you and I actually learn as quickly and as easily as we think we do. Or, is it that we have chosen not to continuously challenge ourselves?

I will try to be as objective as I can with such a subjective question. I believe that there is a great deal of truth that I generally assimilate information at an above average rate. I also believe I am guilty of creating a false reality in which I excel at everything I do. In truth, I only choose to do things which I am good at.

As I said in the original meditation, humans are notoriously bad at recognizing and changing undesireable behavior in themselves. I have spent years shattering the illusions I have created for myself and still struggle with them every day. We justify things to ourselves to protect our fragile egos.

Helping others and learning are two things that I value very highly. Judging from the recent poll, I am not the only one. Change is a long an arduous journey but it starts with a single step ;-)

Cheers - L~R

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
