Sometimes it seems easier to talk to others as I talk to myself in case they're thinking the same thing. Chris - the exhaustion seems to be paying off as you're doing quite well Ines - if it's any comfort, I also think you're a geek. (We're now even for the Twitter threat) Laura - my apologies for not meeting your expectations (please see the customer assistance counter for a full refund of your investment in my advice) and thanks for reminding me why I left full-time journalism. Russell - when are you buying me lunch? Kris - my reputation apparently proceeds me. Now I'll go read your blog to be reminded of how you're a better writer than I am.

It is easier to accept a message that is critical of others when that message is itself inspiring. In other words, before you harangue others for their complacency, make sure you're operating/writing/blogging/speaking at a level that is beyond complacency yourself. No offense was intended. And, I know that the comment sounds a little harsh.
