Back again with an update on one of the books I'm working my way through. I hadn't opened Killing Cockroaches in a while, because I've found its cocky "this-stuff-is-so-simple-you-idiot-why-didn't-you-think-of-it?" and "now-that-I've-told-you-about-it-if-you-don't-implement-my-suggestions-you're-a-double-idiot" attitudes annoying (I'm also not overly enthusiastic about the author's underlying theology...the two have a direct correlation, I believe). However, today I found this note that I penciled in the margin from my last endeavor:
"Every time I'm ready to write off this author, he comes up with a 'good fit' idea".
Which reminds me to stop being so judgmental and enjoy the good stuff. Oy!
Speaking of "good fit" ideas from the Cockroaches author, he pointed me toward this article by Steve Pavlina, a personal development blogger, author and (apparent) expert on personal growth. "What's Your Optimism Ratio" is a fun way to test whether you tend toward being positive or negative.
Just for fun, smiley points to anyone who puts this post to the "optimism ratio" test (I promise not to change any words to weight the outcome one way or the other!).
