Self-help?

Michael Crichton on whether people ever achieve anything in their self-help efforts: ".....people never seem to change as a result of their intensive introspection. They never understand themselves better. It's very rare to find genuine self-knowledge. It's almost as if you need someone else to tell you who you are, or to hold up the mirror for you. Which, if you think about it, is very weird. Or maybe it's not."

Men, the Bible is our mirror. Jesus is our model. We do need someone to tell us who we are. It's not weird, just honest.
