I'm going to share your information from Accountability is not the ability to crunch numbers. | Rawrb.com with people at my job. Thank you for posting this. Nice website layout btw.

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 13:37:21 +0000 http://rawrb.com/wordpress/?p=7#comment-173 You really have a lot of wisdom to share. Not just in this post but in all of them. I'll admit when it comes to computer programming and the like I find it hard to relate. But your views on people and life in general are really insightful and a good read. These are all very valid points that most of us know but don't seem to apply to our every day lives. A very nice refresher though. You stated in a previous...future post, that emotion almost always overrules rationality and that is such an accurate statement. I am very well aware of all of these points but when you get in a situation they seem to flee your mind. Then, of course, hindsight is 20/20 People do not realize the control they have over their own lives. They don't realize they have the power to change it. There is no gray area. There is a yes or no. An "I will do this and this is how, or I won't". Because of the desire for instant gratification and not wanting to step outside of their comfort zone nothing changes and people continue to be miserable and unhappy. Wanting for more and never finding it. Also, I love the "Don't take advice from broke people" statement. One would think that it would be wise to do so because you can learn from their mistakes. But they didn't even learn from their mistakes. People that are successful make bad choices too but they worked past them and that is the key. You're going to make mistakes but it's better to speak with someone that got through them rather than someone that has been there....and is still there. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you for sharing. You really have a lot of wisdom to share. Not just in this post but in all of them.
