AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS
                                      Portia Nelson

       1) I walk down the street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
       I fall in.
       I am lost...
       I am hopeless.
       It isn't my fault.
       It takes forever to find a way out.

       2) I walk down the same street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
       I pretend I don't see it.
       I fall in again.
       I can't believe I'm in the same place.
       But it isn't my fault.
       It still takes a long time to get out.

       3) I walk down the same street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
       I see it is there.
       I still fall in...it's a habit
       My eyes are open; I know where I am;
       It is my fault.
       I get out immediately.

       4) I walk down the same street.
       There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
       I walk around it.

       5) I walk down another street.
