[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 349846"] [U]Awesome AND interesting.[/U] You really can't change anyone else. You can only change yourself. At best, you might be of influence. You might be an example. These are limited best case scenarios. If the person WANTS to change, then they might be open for suggestion. However, the bottom line is that if and when want change, then they will be the ones who make the decision to listen to your suggestions, etc. Sometimes we can show a person the pros and cons of a decision and help them personally tip the balance toward change. Or sometimes life tips the balance for them and they are forced to see the benefits of change. In any case, it is a difficult process. They at least have to be willing to take a look at the situation. And in the end, again, each individual has to make a personal decision for change. This is something I have thought about a lot. We are our choices.... and It's choice not chance that determines our destiny. [/QUOTE]
