Well fear and laziness must be universal traits if this thread started in 2003 and it's now 2008! I'm 36 and I've been wandering around the last few days (or few years) convinced that my two great defects are some strange mix of fear and laziness which to my slow brain is a great revelation. So I decided I'd plug the two words into google and see where they'd take me and they took me straight to this thread. Some very interesting ideas have been expressed here and I've jotted a couple of them down for future perusal. What did someone once say... "do something every day that scares you"? I'm trying to program the words 'fear and laziness' into my conscious brain so that they pop up every time they're behind my way of doing things or not doing things. Only by being conscious of their insidious nature can we arm ourselves to combat them and widen that gap between humans and super-chimpanzees (not that I've anything against monkeys).
'nuff said, I'm off to bed!
