If You Want to be Happy, Then LEARN to be Happy

Earlier today, I read about a guy named Wong Sun, someone who is happy whether there is rain or whether it is Monday morning…  And, he is in the shoe repair profession. I think, really, that happiness is not where you travel, what you do, or what you have, but rather is about finding the [...]

George Sheridan Was an Amazing Man – Let’s All Learn to Love, Give, and Understand Like Him

This morning, I received a very unfortunate news about a dear friend who has recently passed away.  I share this news with you because there is something really amazing about him.  Even after he passed away, he still loves others and he still gives others.  He gave away his organs so that others could live.  [...]

…And then it is Winter. The Seasons of Our Life

No More Loser Songs – Built for Success

Don’t get me wrong.  I love Connie Francis and all of the blue, heart-felt songs, but I think it’s time I don’t listen to loser songs again.

Why Can’t Leadership Be Quantified?

They say that leadership can’t be quantified. They are managers, coaches, supervisors, team leaders, employees, employers, the media… But, why not?  Why can’t leadership be quantified? Many of us do already know many of the qualities that make a good leader.  Couldn’t we then just create a list of those qualities, assign weighting to those [...]

Luck Happens! But You Gotta Have Effort
