Good on ya dude...after all, it is a matter of perspective. Times like those, when I run into a minor obstacle that looks like it's going to take an inordinate amount of time to overcome, I try to go into what I call, perhaps incorrectly, my "Tao mode." Which means, I tell myself that the only thing that matters at this point in time is that I accomplish whatever it is that I'm engaged in at the moment, and I have the rest of my life to fulfill this goal. If I die in the process, then it is no less ignoble in the grand scheme of things than dying in the process of scaling Mt. Everest.

Well, what the hell, it works for me.
