		<description>Hey John and Stephen,

Ha!. I wasn&#039;t talking to you of course - this was what was going on inside my head.  But you both make the point that is true for many of us - we need focus, determination, and the guts to try new stuff - what I call being audaciously unrealistic.

Thanks both of you for taking the time to read and comment.</description>

		<description>Hey Don,

My thinking on the outlier effect is that as the name suggests, it applies to outliers.  Most of us are not outliers and so perhaps the effect of arbitrary cut-off dates on our opportunities to get 10,000s of critically reflective practice under our belt is not so important?</description>

		<description>&quot;You talkin&#039; to me?&quot;

Now, I ain&#039;t no &quot;Taxi Driver&quot;, but I too reckon I&#039;ve just had a 1-on-1 conversation with you, Nic.
And it&#039;s a bit painful too, to realise what life is all about - participate, or die...!
I&#039;m for living, and participating - here&#039;s to getting off the merry-go-round, and doing things differently, from now on!
Thanks!</description>

However, I&#039;m curious about the &#039;Outlier effect&#039; pointed to by Malcolm Gladwell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz4hPbHIZ6Y

		<description>Hi Nic,

I&#039;m reminded of the immortal words of Yoda.
 -   &quot;Do, or do not. There is no try.&quot;</description>

		<description>So true Nic,

If you&#039;re not speaking directly to me then you are echoing my own thoughts about myself. Stopping all the noise that surrounds me to go boldly forth, with faith, knowing the true cost is what it would be like if I don&#039;t act like I believe it and get stuff done.
Great blog Nic</description>

		<description>Thanks Nic...  

I like the way your emails click through to your blog...  I&#039;ll take that tip and save myself hours, often.  I usually do both separately... duh~!!
