My full-time occupation is print broker. I serve my customers printing needs by shopping the best values, arranging for and assisting the proofing process, attending press checks, following up on deliveries, and if needed, interfacing with the mailing house. When I’m busy I barely have time to breathe. Lately I haven’t been so busy–in fact […]

A local news story aired the other day. It seems a woman was killed in a traffic accident. There were other people injured, but she was the only one who didn’t survive.
The EMT’s arrived at the scene and did what they do best, they did a triage, and seeing that the woman was no longer among the living, […]

Yellowstone National Park has been an environmental proving ground. Park rangers told us that the forestry pendulum initially swung wide toward micro-management of public lands and animals. Wolves were considered to be a menace and bounties were offered to eliminate them. Without the wolves the elk herds flourished. The elks ate all edible vegetation in sight until […]

Prudential Hasn’t Learned a Doggone Thing

Wells Fargo announced a profit and Wall Street showed signs of life. It didn’t matter that the $3 Billion profit was much less than the $25 Billion they received from the public. By my reckoning that still puts them $22 Billion in the hole, even if they gave the entire $3 Billion back to the […]

Kevin Hall and The Power of Words

I’ve been writing a lot about the negative side of the success equation, and that is because Bill’s and Phil’s book is focused on the things people do to guarantee failure.When we eliminate these failure actions we can soar. It’s like a seabird trying to cross the ocean with an anchor tied to its leg. […]

You’ve got to give him credit. President Obama isn’t just sitting behind his desk in the oval office luxuriating in his win. He’s out spreading his message. I heard his interview on Face the Nation yesterday (March 29, 2009). Bob Schieffer quoted Thomas Jefferson who said, “the presidency is a splendid misery.” Furthermore Schieffer said, […]

AIG Executives are the Jerks of the World
February 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment
I heard on this morning’s news that AIG is now asking another $300 Billion dollars from the taxpayers. That is on top of the $85 billion already received, and the $37.8 Billion requested in September of this year. Wow! I can’t even begin to comprehend such sums even when put into real world examples like […]

The book, How To Become A Total Failure is a scared straight approach to changing bad habits and negative thinking. We’ve been showing you examples of how these rules of failure work. Have you heard the term “fear of success”? The fear must be real or otherwise why would we set ourselves up to fail?
Many […]

After the Daily Breeze published the following comment made by Geraldine Ferraro, many viewed her statement as racist:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position… and if he was a woman of any color he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who […]
