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.
Throughout much of my life, I paid little attention to the miracles that surrounded me. I was too busy thinking about business and money... too busy being annoyed by annoying people. I had no time to think about the real world -- the world that matters. Nature and I were perfect strangers.
Funny how life plays out. Who would have thought that some of my best friends would turn out to be trees?
I know that people often say a dog is man's best friend -- and I like dogs... so long as someone else feeds them, walks them, and, well, does all the rest of the stuff that goes along with having a dog as your best friend. But what I like best about trees is that they take care of themselves... and, unlike dogs, they usually outlive you.
Although virtually everyone agrees that “time is money,” I’m convinced most people only pay lip service to this truism. If you’re really serious about it, you need to come to grips with the reality that the key ingredient for converting time into money is self-discipline.
I’ve written a lot about the importance of acting sooner rather than later, without waiting to figure out everything in advance. Human motivation certainly plays a role here. Nothing says this more succinctly than marketing guru Joe Vitale’s aphorism: Money loves speed.
I see a great deal of self-contempt in many people I encounter. It isn’t necessary for a person to tell me he lacks self-respect. You can see it in his facial expressions and body language. You can hear it in his words and in the tone of his voice.
