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

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.
