Excuses, Excuses

One of the many mental traps I can relate to. I’ve been reading a good book on how we set our selves up to fall into them, and how to notice them and prevent ourselves from falling into them.

Thank goodness! Now I have an even better excuse about why I performed poorly in college.

Ahh, I just re-read it.

The urge goes well beyond a mere lowering of expectations, and it has more to do with protecting self-image than with psychological conflicts rooted in early development, in the Freudian sense.

i definately have this problem

I didn’t do – fill up the blank – because I was on Neatorama.

This all reminds me of that Austrailian back-country sheep herder who won that uber-long footrace. He just didn’t know any better!
