I found this reading to be very akin to many other books I have read on the topics of positive thinking or result-minded thinking. The primary difference present that truly struck a chord with my manner of analytical thinking was the simple question, “How?” How is my approach to the problem in front of me affecting my finding the solution I need? The practice steps at the end of the chapter provide suitable guidance for focusing the analysis of the situation; assess and reassess. By slowing down and examining how I am approaching a problem, I have a much better chance to find a flaw in my thoughts that may be limiting results.

I agree with your statement about life not being as straightforward as a flowing river. I agree that sometimes we do need help. I have found my critical friends to be extremely important in my quest for another degree. When I get tired, want to shut down and quit I talk to one of them, get my motivation back and complete the tasks at hand. I can also thank my mother for keeping me on track. I was raised with a strong work ethic, I was raised to work hard and give 100%. She had expectations and I didn't want to disappoint her. These standards have become part of who I am and help to keep me in the boat.
