Hi TIPSters: I seek your help in identifying the source of a quotation, as well as the exact quote itself. I've looked around the web for some time without any success, so have turned as a last resort to this august (ahem...) and cheerful band of scholars.
Here's what I recall, and I hope it's not a Loftus-esque false memory, which I seem to be experiencing more and more these days. It's from a famous psychologist (yeah, I know that's really helpful....), and the gist goes something remotely like this. One's reaction to a manuscript rejection occurs in three phrases...first, one becomes angry at how stupid the reviewers are; second , one realizes that the reviewers may have a few valid points here and there; and third and finally, one is relieved that the manuscript wasn't accepted for publication in its original form. Does anyone out there recall any quotation at all like this? (if not, maybe I'm just confabulating the whole darned thing...) In any case, thanks in advance for any help you can provide...Scott Scott O. Lilienfeld, Ph.D. Professor Department of Psychology, Room 473 Emory University 36 Eagle Row Atlanta, Georgia 30322 [email protected]; 404-727-1125 The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his intellectual passions. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him - he is always doing both. - Zen Buddhist text (slightly modified) ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
