Last, listen to these guys. They know what the heck they are talking about.

We're the same age, and I read NMMNG twice, back to back. And it's still hard to make those changes after almost 40 years. You know how you do it? By doing different stuff than you used to.

And that's hard. But you've been given a great opportunity to start. Doing what you used to do (and are still doing) is what got you in this spot in the first place.

Yeah, my nice-guy-ism is particularly bad. There are things about me that I am sad to say are very true. The covert contracts, the dishonesty. It's not comfortable to acknowledge. BUT, I will be better.
