My quote for the day

In the words of Thoreau, "For every thousand hacking at the leaves of evil, there is one striking the root." We can only achieve quantum improvements in our lives as we quit hacking at the leaves of attitude and behavior and get to work on the root, the paradigms from which our attitudes and behaviors flow.

*From The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey, p. 31*

Given my recent attitude problem, I've got this printed out and sitting on my keyboard. Maybe it'll sink in...
