I didn't say you could avoid making ALL mistakes. You can avoid certain mistakes.
> On the other hand, I've had many times where I overrode my intuition and thought "damn, should have trusted myself"
That's exactly what I'm talking about. :)

I never said question every thought. I also never said that the goal in life is to avoid making all mistakes.
See, you've got a reason in posting this, and for putting words in my mouth and, in my opinion, saying "No" to me while On The Other Hand giving an example of what I meant.
You also left off my real-world example of questioning your own motives, which your Covey anecdote doesn't negate in any way.
Why do you think that is?
- kirse 17y ago-- That's exactly what I'm talking about. :) Ok, I agree with you on that piece. I still disagree that self-congratulatory thoughts need constant analysis for something as simple as enjoying some milk. -- Why do you think that is? What a great example of how, yet again, you're thinking too deeply here... as if I had some underlying internal motive for ignoring your one example. I didn't address it because I ran out of time and was headed out to lunch with friends. So I mashed the reply button and figured I addressed as much as I could.
