  • There Will Always Be “Others”

    In reading the story of the Pentecost, that day on which the Apostles were visited by the Holy Spirit and given the power of signs and wonders and speaking to all nations, I was struck by something: the "Others." The Bible relates how there was a loud sound from heaven and the people gathered around,…

  • Expect to Earn It

    Children and adults alike fantasize about becoming big successes. Everyone wonders what it would be like to have huge talent, amazing gifts, and the opportunity to become great at something. Fame and fortune is reserved for the lucky few. But that last part is a lie. There is no easy street to high achievement.  Certainly…

  • The Wasting of Your Life

    There seems to be no limit to the number of varying interpretations of how one is to view the concept of "wealth." The term itself deserves the quotes thus employed in the previous sentence because it conjures in people's minds many different definitions. Some hear the word and immediately consider it to be something possessed…

  • Goal Setting vs. Goal Sitting

    It's that time of year again. People rush to join health clubs, open savings accounts, buy Nicotine gum, and a whole host of activities intended to improve themselves, break the habit, turn the corner, clear the hurdles, and get the proverbial monkeys off their backs. In some ways this frenzy of good intentions is a…

  • To Know and Still Glow

    She wasn't exactly keeping up with me. I turned, amidst the crowd, to discern why. A moment's glance contained the explanation: she was trying to walk on the tiles of a certain color while dodging the rest. "Do it with me, daddy!" she gushed. And I couldn't help but comply. It didn't matter that we…

  • Reading for Lifetime Growth

    It was a book by Donald Trump I'd picked it up because I had a strong desire to conquer the "money thing." The best I can remember, it was the first book after college I read on my own compulsion. I wish I could say that it sparked a hunger for lifetime learning, but alas,…

  • The Pursuit of Happiness

    "Don't make that face! It might freeze that way!" It's a silly little thing parents say to kids. We've all heard it. Even as children we knew it wasn't true. But now I'm aging and I realize something profound: it was true! There are lines in my face representing the most dominant facial expressions I've been making…

  • Genteel Back-Channeling

    Teams are endlessly interesting because they are made up of people. People, as we will learn throughout our lives, are mind-bogglingly complex. First of all, we get to deal with the two genders. Then we get to deal with those who are single and those who are wed, those who’ve been widowed and those who’ve…

  • Working at the Roots

    Bob mopped and mopped but couldn't seem to make any progress. The water just kept flowing, flooding his laundry room and seeping out into the rest of his home. Nearly exhausted, mops soaked, water still flowing, only then did Bob consider the source of the water. A quick inspection revealed a split pipe just below…

  • Motive Assigners vs. Benefit-of-the-Doubters

    Have you ever considered just what we mean when we say, "He seems like a pretty nice guy?" Does it mean he has good manners, is kind, friendly, amicable, and easy to get along with? Most likely. Does it also mean he is slow to anger and quick to laugh? Also likely. Allow me to…
