I have a client who is an accountant who loves the ideas and marketing But. Everytime I write a letter its a battle to get past the "professional image". Its come down to a me or them situation. Take it as I write it and have the results or do it like everyone else. (As a side note this accountant is a good friend so my sticking ability is far greater.) Hi there,

Its come down to a me or them situation. Take it as I write it and have the results or do it like everyone else.

On the very first disc, he's hammering on attitude. So I've been thinking a lot about attitude lately. Here's what I love about you, John: how you're willing to think... and not accept what "authority" says. I radically changed my beliefs a few years back. It really messed me up (intellectually) for over a year. But it was awesome. I've got friends (like what you describe) that just drive me crazy with their inability to even conceive of something different than what they already believe. And speaking of having friends with different perspectives... they're the best kind, in my opinion. 'Cuz if you can tolerate each other's different values and beliefs... even appreciate them... then those are tight friendships indeed.
