Anything adopted uncritically is likely to cause problems.

I still think it's a very relevant phrase, simply for us to keep in mind that the attitude we project is going to determine the kind of results we can reasonably hope to achieve.
We need to ask ourselves what kind of results do we truly desire, and then ask whether the attitude we are approaching the situation with is the sort of attitude that is likely to go with achieving those results, or is it an attitude more likely to thwart the results we want.
