RATIONALIZATION
One of my favorite cartoons is by Jules Feiffer. It shows a born loser type of guy talking to himself and trying to jack up himself with the following interior monologue: “No such thing as accident. No such thing as luck. Life is a plan! My plan is set. My plan cannot fail. It happens that I am a slow starter. I have incorporated that into my plan. It happens that I lose a lot. I have incorporated that into my plan. It happens that I am subject to depressions. I have incorporated that into my plan. I watch others rush by me on the road to success. I have incorporated their competitiveness into my plan. My plan has a code name – – OPERATION: JUST YOU WAIT!” Failure/Success, Losers
