Geek Girls Guide to Telling Yourself Stories

[blcdrayco]

Hey, Fish- you may think "Life sucks and then you die" better then "think positive and all will be well", but you have to remember the second bit- "Its the afeter life thats worth living for".

After reading Fish's story I'm quite certain she has no intent on hoping for the afterlife.

Anyway, well written! Definatly and inspiration to anyone, not strickly geek girls alone.

I just read this gem.  Thanks, MsFish.  I really like the way this is all put together.

When you called last night it's a good thing I didn't tell you  the story I was telling about myself or I'd have been in trouble.

And your comment that "positive thinking simply isn't enough"  reminded me of the Stockdale paradox.  And it's always good for me to get a reminder.
