That is a very important point made in this article. I used to think that way (not my fault but my circumstance) and I feel that this "blocked" 90% of my brain. Only when I started thinking that I am in charge here was I able to really get closer to fulfilling my potential and we all have huge potential.
Since I am @egotheist´s designated hater (lol), I have to say that I hate how many great he produces all the time. No seriously though, great job.
Cheers!
