Reverse Psychology

As a kid, if ever I complained of whatever attention seeking ailment I was then having, be it a sore eye (remember those?), a pain in my leg etcetra, he would always recommend that I 'think about the other eye' or wherever my body was supposedly crippling me. And (generally) it worked.

I haven't thought about that piece of advice until just now (Mon, Apr 13, 2009 1:35:56 AM), but if I had've applied that to many faculties of my life in the intervening years I think maybe my life might be (a bit) better.
