HOW TO OVERCOME INSANITY - LEARNING FROM YOUR PAST MISTAKES

I spend my days with some great folks - and some not so great folks. Some people catch on quickly. Some people not so quickly. What kind of a person are you? The definition of insanity is making the same mistake over and over again.

I like this short story:


Chapter One

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost .... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.


Chapter Two

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.


Chapter Three

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 ... but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.


Chapter Four

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.


Chapter Five

I walk down another street.
