"Logic is the tool that is used to dig holes deeper and bigger, to make them altogether better holes. But if the hole is in the wrong place, then no amount of improvement is going to put it in the right place. No matter how obvious this may seem to every digger, it is still easier to go on digging in the same place than to start all over again in a new place." (from Edward de Bono's "New Think", quoted in "Conceptual Blockbusting" by James L. Adams)

now how 'bout that. this has been the problem with my current status in life and i didn't realize it until i read the above. it also touches upon a reoccurring theme in aiesec, as evidenced by the recent madison madness.

now let's dig some different holes (or continue digging in the freshly broken ground) and see what we find, shall we?
