People do see that as someone who cares, or someone who is willing to give it his/her all. I like how you described that, it is helpful to me - and will continue to be when things don't always go as planned. <em>Lance's last blog post..<a href='http://www.jungleoflife.com/2008/08/01/we-are-a-motley-crew/' rel="nofollow">We Are A Motley Crew</a></em> Going the extra mile – whether successful or not – is so true.

I corrected the post and gave appropriate acknowledgment to you. It's really cool to see such a popular blogger visiting a smaller blog. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoy Gretchen's Happiness blog and I hope that I can deliver as much value as she does in each post. Hey Leo, I apologize for the mistake.

I really appreciate it! Just to clarify, though, the post you mentioned was written by me ... it wasn't a guest post from Gretchen. :) I can see how you thought that, because at the end I linked to her blog, but that was just because she writes one of the best happiness blogs out there. Now I've discovered yours ... she's got some good company! <em>Leo's last blog post..<a href='http://zenhabits.net/2008/07/notes-on-life-positive-thinking-speeding-flow-in-meetings-reading-with-my-kids/' rel="nofollow">Notes on Life: Positive Thinking, Speeding, ?Flow? in Meetings, Reading with My Kids</a></em> Hi Karl … thanks for the kind mention and nice comments on Zen Habits.

It's a much better technique then just doing for the sake of doing. It's all about awareness, baby.

I'm in Vegas right now and I can't wait to reconnect with everyone. I haven't been able to reply to people's comments and it's frustrating. I want everyone to know how much I care about their comments, but no one can do it all. So, here is my grand thank you to everyone who keeps the conversation going at WHN. You keep me motivated. I'm coming back with some fresh ideas and I can't wait to share them with all of you in the blog posts to come.

If I'm not, I make more mistakes and my heart's not in it. With that kind of attitude, I miss doing my best work.

I've struggled with this and have come to realize that it's best for me not to start a complex project or try to solve a technical issue in late afternoon or evening. When I admit to myself that this or that won't be solved that day and turn in for the night I'm always amazed at how easy it is to see the solution the next morning when I'm fresh. <em>Flora Morris Brown, Ph.D.'s last blog post..<a href='http://coloryourlifehappy.com/blog/2008/07/29/what-role-does-color-play-in-your-life/' rel="nofollow">What Role Does Color Play in Your Life?</a></em> You’re so right that the key is knowing yourself, knowing when to push harder and when to take a break.
