My thoughts

Pride prevents progress

Man, I hate pride. The kind of pride that makes you check how many times people visited your website or the kind of pride that bugs you to check whether the basketball association posted the correct number of baskets you scored in the last game. I do these things but really, who cares? The important thing is that you are happy with the product you are putting out on the web and that you had enjoyable time at the last game, and maybe burned off a few calories. By writing this, I am hoping to reinforce this better man, as I know that I make greater progress when I do not give a damn, whether that is playing the trombone or shooting a jump-shot. Throw caution to the wind and see what happens. I think you (and I) will be happy with the results.

You're so right, Dr. K. I catch myself wondering whether I should get frustrated with my hockey game from time to time. Then I ask myself: Did I have fun? Did I get exercise? Did I bond with my hockey pals? Then... fair enough! It's an honour to be playing this great game. Just keep having fun!
