> I never much liked the lemonade quote either. I guess what was depressing to me about the Churchill quote is that we talk here all the time about how poorly we react to things - our distortions and misperceptions, and for me anyway, severe overreactions to things others might take very much in stride. So this quote is telling me that 9o% of life rests in an area in which I am at my most incompetent.

Seeing as I'm another person who severely over-reacts to what others take in stride, that's EXACTLY how I feel, word for word.
