There's A Hole In My Sidewalk  
by Portia Nelson  
 
Chapter One
 
I walk down a street and there's a big hole. I don't see it and fall into it. It's dark and hopeless and it takes me a long time to find my way out. It's not my fault !
 
Chapter Two
 
I walk down the same street. There's a big hole and I can see it, but I still fall in. It's dark and hopeless and it takes me a long time to get out. It's still not my fault.
 
Chapter Three
 
I walk down a street. There's a big hole. I can see it, but I still fall in. It's become a habit. But I keep my eyes open and get out immediately. It is my fault.
 
Chapter Four
 
I walk down a street. There's a big hole. And I walk around it.
 
Chapter Five
 
I walk down a different street.

Wink  This story reminds me of my life....lol!  It just takes some people a little longer than others to learn from the lessons of life.......

The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."

I think it takes *most* people a long time to learn the lessons of life.  At least you are learning... Smiley

I love this story Rhune. I used it as a handout in a class I used to teach. Wink It's short and sweet, but makes a great point.   Smiley  
 
Wingsy, I'm a hard learner too. In my case, I think it could be called "stubborn".  Grin

I watch from the wings at the play you are staging - while I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging.

When I was growing up, my mom kept it on her office wall (she's a psychologist) and it was just something that always stuck with me.
