my tournament game is just off...

I am constantly working on my game and trying to be great at poker like many of you. My Cash and SNG game is tight and I often find myself very happy with my results.However my Multi Table tournament game is completly off. This is because my style of play used to be survival and I would cash but rarely make final tables.It has become evident by pro's like Gus Hansen and Daniel N that the survial strategy is not a winning strategy. Yes, you may cash, but im not interested in cashes, I want to WIN tournaments.So now I go back and forth between 2 different strategy's, I am either trying to get chips early which has caused me to get knocked out early, or I am playing a non-optimal half survival, half aggresive style that is not working.I wonder if its because the tournaments I now play are low limit because I have suspended my larger buy in MTT's until I get my MTT game together.Has anyone had sucess playing aggressive in low limit tournaments? What I am going to do is stop playing MTT's until I have digested all of Harringtons tournament book. I read it once and it is the best one on the market, so now I am going to focus on that.Anyway, any comments are apperciated.

Your plan of re-reading Action Dan's book sounds good to me; I've read quite a few books but for tournament hold-em, I thought that his book was the best one.Also, even if you play perfect poker, you may go through long stretches where you never win the big money in a tournament. Daniel also said in one of his postings that (I'm paraphrasing) "all the great players try to see a lot of flops cheaply" which I keep in mind
