  • Don’t Think They Don’t

    I was a newlywed at the time. That should explain a lot. Also, I had grown up doing dangerous things in a world that hadn't yet caught the "safety addiction." For instance, when I was a kid it was considered quite normal to be carted around town in the back of a pickup truck, ride…

  • Friendship: The Obscure Obvious

    Scan any book store and you'll find millions of books on how to make more money, thousands about how to be more spiritual, hundreds about how to be a better wife and mother, and maybe five or six on how to be a better husband and father. Rarest of all, however, and relegated to the…

  • The Lesson of the Double Jump

    In my crazy teenage years I became consumed by a magnificent obsession. It was on my mind in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. As my tee shirt at the time said: I ate, drank, slept, walked, talked, breathed, and lived motorcycles; specifically, motocross. This was a little before the X-game craze; back when riding…

  • Excellence Begets Excellence

    "He is lucky," they say. "Had some good breaks," say others. "Yup, knew the right people." "Plus, he was at the right place at the right time." These are the excuses people make vocally about others who've succeeded. Worse, these are the thought processes people uncritically buy into when confronted with the high achievement of…

  • Mob or Team?

        A mob of people is one of the most dangerous and heartless entities on earth.  Conversely, a team of highly functioning and productive people is one of the most heart-warming and inspirational. The difference is leadership.      Few things have ever been accomplished by the lone striver. People must combine into productive groups and each contribute…

  • Trust the Process

    What you believe about what you CAN achieve determines what you WILL achieve. It's what we know that just isn't so that holds us back the most. Be willing to do well what most people won't do at all. Commitment means you will persist with the process long before it appears to be working. Deliberate…

  • It’s Your Business to Know What Business You’re In

    It should go without saying that you should know what you're doing in order to do it. But a surprising number of people and even companies don't seem to know what their main purpose is. There are two groups, however, that can always be counted on to understand this perfectly well: 1) customers and 2)…

  • Take Time

     "Take time to smell the roses," it has been said.  The spirit of this quote is correct, I feel. However, I am not sure about that "take time" part. If you think about it, there is no such thing as "taking time." Time just is. It clicks along at a terrifyingly steady pace as we…

  • Tell Me If Anything Was Ever Done

     It at first seems odd that Leonardo da Vinci is so revered today. None of his sculptured works have survived, and only around a grand total of fifteen of his paintings are known. Although he wrote a lot about architecture, no buildings anywhere are credited to his name. Dispassionate scientists have long debated the originality…

  • Leaders Travel Light

    I learned it the hard way, really, by dragging bulky bags through crowded bus terminals, onto packed trains, and up stairs at a five-hundred year-old hotel. I will never forget slugging two huge suitcases through Narita station in Tokyo, stopping at a trash can and throwing a way a bunch of stuff to lighten my…
