It helped me make my point in an argument with my wife. I believe I'm like the guy who steps aside, but there's also a bad side of being like this. People usually look at someone who avoids conflict as if he is afraid of sticking with his principles, or just too lazy to care. It's like your boss blaming you for not sharing your thoughts in a meeting when you know that saying what you think would made him look like an idiot. As for your waiting problem, hey, that's why they invented handhelds like Nintendo DS :) Nice article! It helped me make my point in an argument with my wife.

Book recommendation: "Notes from the underground" / Dostoyevsky. There's a part dealing with this two men street bumping - problem. Brilliant book, not as long as other works of D., too.

Let the Universe know that you appreciate abundance and then you'll get more of it, you are also training your mind that there are no limits that you can tap into infinite potential. If that ain't your bag try deep breathing right down into your gut. As you breathe out imagine emptying body of toxins and mind of negativity and feel all worries leave your system. Then when you breath in feel healing energy revitalise your organs and mind and spirit. Repeat. You can do this fairly subtly if you are worried about looking funny. Or if that ain't your bag, think about what you are going to code next and visualise it done and looking good and then work out paths to get there.

So... this my story was similar to childrens story? Looks so. :) This actually reminds me what Dilbert wrote in one of his cartoon books (Dilbert's future or something in English). He said he came up with an idea that had a witty word fun regarding Placebo (I can dig the story if you really must know) and had already sketched the strip. Before finishing it, he saw exactly the same joke in some magazine - and decided to trash his because he knew that he couldn't use a joke that was already used by somebody else. It happens. :) Well all be damned – I’ve never heard of Dr. Seuss. So… this my story was similar to childrens story? Looks so. :)

I loved the story enough to search for a YouTube cartoon of it even, in case anyone is interested but hasn't heard of The Zax before :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfI9e4BX0lU Cheers :-) I thought the same about Seuss.

Both Zaxes were so stubborn they were left deadlocked in their tracks, because neither would move.
