I have come to really appreaciate my current instructors. One is the quinessential steam guages guy, who said something so obvious and honest it was life changing - "Glenn, you will make mistakes no matter how long you fly. Your job is to learn to recongnize and manage them."
Admitting that I will make them frees me from denial. Learning how to find them as early as possible frees me to resond more effectively.

But the rest of the rules were a real relief after some of the heaviness of this thread.
