At a distance, they looked like small black waves breaking the surface. As we drew closer, we could see more than 100 adults and calves playfully leaping, breaching, tail-whacking and belly [...]The Danger of Learned Helplessness
Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:20:51 +0000Martin Seligman at the age of 13 witnessed his father being carried out of the house on a stretcher. His father, a lawyer at the pinnacle of his career, had been hit by a series of strokes and became physically and emotionally helpless for the rest of his life. That event triggered Seligman’s [...]Looking for an Opportunity?
Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:36:44 +0000Try to imagine this…a sales person complains that his prospects just aren’t interested. When you ask why, he responds, “I can just tell. They’re not interested in hearing anything I have to say. So why even bother? I just need some prospects who will give me a chance.” What would you have to say to [...]My Declaration of Independence
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:24:58 +0000You might think that the pounding in my head would have been enough to wake me, but it was the sledge hammers that did the job.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:18:37 +0000I was eavesdropping this morning. I should do it more often because what I heard was shocking.

It happened as I was pulling [...]A Teacher on a Trike
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:17:51 +0000My wife and I often saw him on our morning walks with Koda, our goofy yellow Labrador retriever. The man was hard to miss with his red helmet, fluorescent orange vest, and the triangular orange flag attached to the back of his adult tricycle. I’d guess he was in his thirties, but I can’t say [...]What are you worth?
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:17:08 +0000That could be a touchy question these days, but I’m not prying into your personal financial situation.

You can learn a lot about how people are valued by [...]Are You on a Path of no Regrets?
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:16:08 +0000Most of us have made a decision that we later regretted. It’s not a question of if or when; it’s a question of how many times it happened before. And more than just a few of us have not only made a bad decision or two, but we’ve made that very same bad decision more [...]Slapped Awake by an Angel
Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:14:41 +0000She was a messenger sent from heaven.
