		<description>I haven&#039;t read many &quot;blogs&quot; because it seems to me they fall into two categories.  Catharsis and advertising.  Yours is definitely in the cathersis category.  While I approve of any cathartic therapy if it helps you, is it really necessary to discuss your personal relationships in as much detail as you do in these entries?  I applaud your success, but it seems like your success has given you much stress -- or your type-A obsessive personality is responsible for both.  How many hours a day do you work?  Is it worth it?</description>

		<description>I think we all do that; I know I can&#039;t take praise very well. I&#039;ve finally come to terms that I&#039;m a creative person, but I don&#039;t ever call myself an &quot;artist&quot;. That&#039;s partially because I had an &quot;art teacher&quot; who discouraged me when I was young, and partially because of general low self-esteem.

It&#039;s good that you can brag about yourself; it means that you&#039;ve gotten past that &#039;I&#039;m not good enough&#039; thing.</description>

		<description>Eh, I tend to disagree a bit.  When people ask what I do, &quot;I work with computers,&quot;  not &quot;I&#039;m a Senior Computer Engineer and Analyst.&quot;  It just sounds boastful and I feel it sometimes makes me &#039;force&#039; people to respect me.  I&#039;d rather they just deem me as a person and I gain their respect the old traditional way.

But we come from two very different backgrounds.  I became successful doing good work, keeping my head down and letting other people realize I was meant to move up.  You worked hard and aggressively gaining your respect through aggression (hey, that&#039;s how entreprenuers work, and it isn&#039;t a bad thing).  This is probably why you are (probably) making more money than me and I&#039;m 5 years older than you.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Now thatâ€™s silly. But donâ€™t we all do that in a way? We talk ourselves out of the things that matter most to us because we believe that no one cares about us, or that it couldnâ€™t possibly work out well.&lt;/i&gt;
The possible exception being the majority of people on the fortune 500, and the people out there fufilling their dreams, even if they&#039;re not so grand as some other peoples dreams.
Easy to know, hard to do something about it..  I&#039;m glad you&#039;re doing something about it.</description>
