What Can I Do? How Can I Get What I Want? Aunt Bettie agreed to look after my house while I went on vacation. She isn’t my Aunt Bettie, she’s Etta’s Aunt Betty. Etta is my neighbor across the street, who’s a doctor, and Aunt Bettie, who is in her late 70’s, comes over and takes care of Etta’s garden.

If The Floors Dirty, Dont Call A Meeting, Pick Up A Broom Mother Theresa. How would you describe her? Compassionate? Kind?That’s not what people who knew her said. In my Strengths course, I ask the learners to name the major strength of different well-known people.

The Fable Of The Elephant And The Woman Who Wasnt Blind This isn’t the story about the four blind men and the elephant, this is the story of me looking at that 6 ton elephant in the zoo, tethered to that tiny stake, and wondering why on earth she doesn’t break loose. Instead she rocks back and forth when it should take an electric fence, iron bars, or 25 armed men to confine her, if that. It’s all in her mind, God love her.How can this happen? How has......

Grasso, Kennedy, Frost, Public Service And You “Something we were withholding made us weak/Until we found out that it was ourselves,” wrote Robert Frost, in “The Gift Outright.” Frost recited this poem at John F. Kennedy’s inauguration in 1961. With the words, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what American will do for you, but...... Source : Creative Critical Thinking
The Easy Way To Get Your Point Across “Metaphor” meant in Greek “carry something across” or “transfer.” The classic definition is comparing two things without using the words “like” and “as” but lately we use it more broadly, as a vivid statement that makes a point.Using metaphors is a master coaching skill, and useful for anyone who wants to influence or help others. It makes something very clear in a few words, and does it by going...... Similar Editorial : by Tom Levine. | Source : Creative Critical Thinking
Brin In The Coach, Im Ready To Play I get letters …emails, that is. Inquiries from prospective clients. They ask the only questions they know how to ask in seeking a coach, admittedly a hard thing to do when you’ve never had a coach, and their questions reveal as much to me, in this joint-interview process, as my answers reveal to them.While you’re looking for your Ideal Coach, the Coach is looking for his or her Ideal Client. Here...... Similar Editorial : by Judy Cullins. | Source : Creative Critical Thinking

Tis The Season ‘Tis the Season to be Jolly?By Dr. Susan RempelI was listening to one of my favorite radio talk programs today. The topic of the hour was “do you feel burdened by Christmas?” Much to my amazement the host, and the majority of his guests, spent the better part of an hour whining and moaning about the burdensome nature of the holiday season. “I hate being with my relatives.” “Why do I have to spend......

EQ Relativity Somebody asked me, “Can there be too much emotion?” Heavens no! It fuels every great thing ever done. Make no mistake what it can accomplish.“Hey!” shouts Conway Twitty, beginning that great C&W classic, “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.”Lo-retta Lynn joins right in, every bit his equal, “Louisiana woman, Mississippi man, We get together every time we can, The Mississippi River can’tkeep us apart......

Overcoming Challenges Of Life Every now and then we’ve probably all had moments of thinking we couldn’t do something because we were too old or too young, too dumb or too smart, too threatening or too intimidated, too experienced or too naïve. We may also have thought we couldn’t do something because of physical, mental or emotional limitations. At the same time, we may have people telling us we can’t because of the same......

Exceptional Teachers Miss Vashti was my first teacher. As soon as I turned six, the summer before I started first grade, I was taken to her house for piano lessons. I felt like a very “big girl” indeed.Miss Vashti, her white hair piled atop her head, opened the door of her Victorian mansion, and ushered me into the inner sanctum. She motioned to me to climb up on the piano bench and have a seat, and then reached out...... Similar Editorial : by JACKIE. | Source : Definition Of Effective Communication
