Er, thanks for that constructive criticism, Perciever. (By the way, are you spelling that wrong on purpose?)
Out of curiosity, do you have anything against standard "Three pep talk" in general?
I can see how you might get a few annoying images in your mind.
Picture it: an early morning "infomercial." A big, muscle-bound jerk with a dorky hair-do. He's spewing out pop-psychology jargon. He's having a fit that looks like a cross between a panic and a pure testosterone attack, while a modest young women stands beside him, smiling politely and nodding. All of a sudden, his eyebrows raise, he makes an "explosion" gesture with his hands, and bellows the dreaded word: EMPOWER! Perciever (sic) winces, and angrily presses a button on his remote control. "Reminds me of that dork on the Enneagram message board that I like to pick on."
Or maybe I have it all wrong. In any case, it was fun, and Happy New Year (yeah, like you'll see this in time).
