Creativity is a trait we all admire. Original thoughts and ideas are valued highly in the marketplace. But most people believe that creativity is an inborn trait and is beyond their reach. They’re right about the former, but wrong about the latter.
It goes without saying that some people are more naturally creative than others, but [...]
“Touching all the bases” is an appropriate metaphor that may well have its roots in the tragic tale of Fred Merkle. At the time, Merkle was only 19 years old and in his second major league season with the New York Giants.
Merkle’s infamous mental lapse took place on September 23, 1908, in the last half [...]
Recovered memory syndrome (RMS) is a phenomenon whereby a questioner “helps” someone remember events that may be fictional by asking leading questions. The reason such questioning works – in bogus molestation cases, for example – is because the mind is very susceptible to suggestion.
But RMS is just one aspect of a much broader problem – [...]
There’s no question that some fans felt cheated when they found out that Major League Baseball players have been using performance-enhancing substances for years. It appears, however, that they are in the minority. Most fans don’t really care all that much about steroid usage.
At the very least, they’re willing to forgive and forget. I think [...]
I have often said that a football game is a microcosm of life. There’s an ebb and flow to every game, with each team experiencing its share of adversity. These adversities include such things as fumbles, interceptions, bad calls by the officials, injuries, and “shanked” punts.
In the National Football League, the teams are so evenly [...]
My first love is learning, which is why I keep my brain on autopilot when it comes to absorbing everything around me and extracting lessons from what I see and hear. It borders on an addiction.
Extracting knowledge, however, is not enough. You must be able to apply what you’ve learned to other situations – even [...]
My approach to life is to plan carefully, then relentlessly focus on execution. I don’t mean to sound stuffy, but to me impulsiveness is a sign of irresponsible behavior.
That’s why those who know me best would lay 100-to-1 odds that I would never make a spur-of-the-moment decision to hop on a train and head for [...]
Like most people, I love the festive atmosphere of Thanksgiving. The spirit of this special day seems to put everyone in a good mood. But, like so many of our national holidays, I doubt that many people reflect on its purpose.
In this regard, I’d like to share with you something personal that has become a [...]
Americans love to throw around the term "hero." They not only ascribe the word to illiterate athletes, but to people who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
An extreme example of the latter would be the infamous Iran-hostage "crisis" that ended after 444 days on January 20, 1981. With Kim Jong Il's best friend, Jimmy Carter, spending more than a year trying to remove his thumb from his left nostril, Iran's version of Crazy Guggenheim -- Ayatollah Khomeini -- had things pretty much his way.
Whenever I speak at a conference, I arrange with my publisher to have copies of my latest book available for attendees to buy.
Usually, it's no problem. I show up at the event and the books are there.
This time, however, he delegated the job to "Ms. Uptite," his in-house PR person. Having already had one too many experiences with Ms. Uptite's attitude, I was a bit apprehensive about her handling the matter, but my publisher felt confident that everything would be fine.
