    This question came in from a Success 2.0 Webcast “What is the best way to teach teens how to be more positive in this “me-me” society we live in?” Nick Nick, I have a 15 year old daughter, so I know exactly what you mean!  The key is teaching kids gratitude, which is the healthiest of all human emotions.  The best way to learn gratitude is by serving others.  Here is the kicker — you can’t learn gratitude by watching others serve; you yourself have to serve.  Serving your kids and not requiring them to serve others will not do anything more than create for them the…

First, make 100% sure it’s the career you want.  Dan Miller has written several great books that will help you determine this.  You might want to check out No More Mondays and 48 Days To The Work You Love.

I read books and attend seminars and then become motivated for awhile. However, it quickly fades and I find myself struggling through another meaningless job trying to get by from week to week. I sometimes write goals, but I never follow them through to the end.”  Matthew As you already know, follow through is the key.  I have heard Dad say many times that “a big shot is just a little shot that…

    The Only True Test of Any Theory In business and in the free market, the only test for the validity of an idea or course of action is, “Does it work?”  The only way that you can tell whether or not a theory or principle is true is by testing it in the real world. Does it work? Does it bring about positive results? Does it bring about better results than another other system or theory? The good news is that in the material world, all results are measurable.  In the business world, all results are measurable in financial terms.  You can tell if something works in reality by…

    Theory X versus Theory Y In the 1960’s, Harvard Psychologist Alex Mackenzie suggested two visions of people in the workplace, each leading to different forms of motivation in organizations. McGregor called these two views of mankind, “Theory X” and “Theory Y. “Theory X was defined as the idea that employees were basically lazy, and had to be continually motivated to do their jobs by using the “carrot and stick” method of rewards and punishment. McGregor postulated Theory Y, which said that people are basically positive, desire to do a good job and…

    Our lives are full of things we “should” do but for a range of reasons we don’t do them. Whatever it is – exercise, healthy eating, saving money – most of the time we choose to take the easier road, the road well traveled. While I’m certainly not immune to this, there are plenty of things I don’t do that I know I should, I feel that understand the why is the first step to making real progress. 1.

    Life can be funny sometimes. Just when you think you have things figured out; just when you think things are moving forward; it throws you a curve. Something comes out of nowhere that forces you to pause and to reexamine your current situation. Such a thing happened to me during the past week. I’m not going to share “exact details” of what happened as it’s not really necessary. I’m pretty sure we can all learn from the situation despite that limitation.

Say No To Others And Yes To Yourself No – (a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request). Yes – (used to express affirmation or assent or to mark the addition of something emphasizing and amplifying a previous statement). Here a two things I want you to think about first: 1) You only have a limited amount of time each day, week, month, year, etc.  Your time is finite. 2) You only have so much energy, be it emotional, physical, spiritual, whatever.  Your…

(Author Unknown) Three Main Definitions Of Patience 1) Quiet, steady perseverance; even-tempered care; diligence. 2) An ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay; and 3) The quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.

  • Abstinence Is Sometimes Better Than Moderation

    Stanley Bronstein

    Abstinence – Any self-restraint, self-denial, or forbearance. Moderation – Avoidance of extremes or excesses. Abstinence And Moderation Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin That coin is restraint. The only difference between abstinence and moderation is the level of restraint. Abstinence is taking it to an extreme.  The point of today’s postiAng is to suggest that just because abstinence is an extreme, it’s not necessarily bad. For example: A person has a history as an alcoholic (or at least someone who likes to drink a lot).  Some people should say that all that person…

When the driver was interviewed, she was asked what happened and she replied, “I was looking in the rearview mirror.” Doh!

    My family is something of a toned down version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding (well, not really toned down), so I knew my decision to trade in my comfortable existence in New York for India was going be difficult to understand. True to form, after announcing my intent I received incredulous stares, curious whispers, strong admonitions, even outright criticism. There was speculation that love was the driving force in my decision making. Others claimed I was “looking for myself” or “having a life crisis.” But most were simply stumped, a break like this was outside the realm…

    I recently picked up The Time Paradox by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd.  It has been an fascinating read that builds nicely on the theme of the last India Journal: We’re Not In Kansas Anymore and explores our attitudes about time. Dr. Zimbardo is well-known for the infamous Stamford Prison experiment in the early 70s, which investigated the power that social situations have in influencing behavior of ordinary people.   Of the experiment, Zimbardo says: …even though the student-prisoners knew they would be part of this experiment for only a limited time, they didn’t behave…

    In crafting my sabbatical I purposefully opted not to plan very much.  Against my nature, I organized only my flight, a pick up at the airport in Delhi, and a hotel for the first two nights. Upon my arrival (at 2:00 am), I was greeted by what seemed like 5,000 animated Indians speaking dozens of dialects, waving signs, grabbing bags and offering rides.  The sights, sounds and scents were all loud, chaotic and unfamiliar, yet somehow not frightening.  To call it sensory overload would be an understatement, yet it was the perfect introduction to the duality that epitomizes the country.

    As the years have passed, it has become easier to find the humor, but as you can imagine, laughter was in short supply in the days leading up to my departure.  With each step closer to my adventure tensions grew.  Why would I sell my charming apartment?  How much was it costing to store my belongings?  Why would I take a leave from my job?  To my friends, family and colleagues my decision seemed increasing out of character…and, I believe called into question decisions each individual had made in their own lives. While uncomfortable, the conversations that ensued were the deepest,…

    The city of Philadelphia ranks twelfth in metropolitan areas with the worst ozone air pollution. So I guess it shouldn’t have surprised me when, shortly after moving here from the relatively clean Midwest in 1983, I began experiencing a series of upper respiratory ailments. Things like strep throat, bronchitis, ear infections, sinus infections and pneumonia, which I had never even had as a child, occurred with enough regularity that I was treated with antibiotics at least once a year for over ten years. It wasn’t until I was hospitalized for nearly a week about four years ago with severe…

It’s a fairly standard little square scarf, lovely really, but nothing special. In fact, considering that it came from my mother-in-law’s collection of tons of gorgeous scarves (she was a decorator, a graduate of Moore College of Art and the consummate fashionable dresser), it isn’t even in my top ten of her scarves.

You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”  3.  There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”  4.  Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.

The slum area in Cavite province where he grew up abounded with solvent-sniffing kids and tough gangsters. People sifted through dumpsites during the day and slept in the cemetery’s empty crypts at night. It was 1997. Peñaflorida, a gangling 16-year-old youngster back then, was occasionally bullied and beaten by street toughies. No one would have thought that, 12 years later, he would be short-listed by globally known Cable News Network (CNN) as a candidate for…
