SB, interesting comments about perception ... in the end, reality is always subjective. I think therefore I am, I think. ;) I couldn't agree more about readily admitting errors and moving on -- flexibility is a very useful trait to have.

i'm always trying to improve my perceptions of reality. this view point makes it real easy to admit error and move on to bigger and better things. it has served me well to date. I think this way, too, Skeets, but now I'm beginning to suspect the increased perception is part of a bigger delusion. At least, I think that I have a hunch...<g> What you said in another post rings true -- that people's distorted views can change the results they get in life. Reminds me of a saying I use often: be careful of what you wish for, because you might get it. When I hear my kids giving negative predictions of themselves, I'll try to get them to visualize a positive result instead.
