Warren Buffet

Your inner score card and your outer score card!

Warren Buffet, when asked by a bunch of students the best piece of advice he could offer, said...

Mr. Buffet replied, "I got this advice from my father."

One should pay attention to ones inner score card rather than the outer one and if at the end of the day you can live with that, you can be happy.

This is very powerful advice in a "chasing carrot" kind of world.  So while we can clearly understand the advice, putting it into practice may be a bit difficult but as a teacher of mine once said, "Difficult does not mean NOT worth doing!

What difference would it make in your life if you followed this advice?

Preempted by a kitty...

Cute Kitty found on the side of the walking path!

Each morning, I take a walk.  There is a mile walking/running path in the park next to my house and I usually do about 3 miles.

This morning, about half way around the first lap, there on the ground off to the side was this kitty.
I thought it was dead!

Prescription for Misery

" I don't think much of myself, but I am all I ever think about"
-- A client of mine.

There we both were.  Sitting in my New York City office and he said it.  The cause of all of our suffering summed up in one simple sentence!

Let me share with you some more insights from that conversation...

More on my Soap

  Ok...so when last we met I introduced  you to one of the families, of which there are three.  Only two are related...

So this week let me introduce you to Hien's family.

Leadership

Ken Lay, founder of Enron, who died of a heart attack yesterday, claimed that Enron was "brought down by by the actions of reckless subordinates."

We can all agree that leadership, as well as management are vital aspects of running any kind of business or a household for that matter.

Ultimately the quality of that leadership falls under the direction of personal values, principles, beliefs and preferences.

In order for you to fully take up your leadership you have to first know what those values, principles, beliefs and preferences are.

Then you must determine if they are the "right" ones for you.

Once determined or course corrected, the next step is to make a commitment to live by them, stand by them, support them and when faced with a challenge stick with them.

Ok...so perhaps that sounds a lot easier than it seems, but with out that, your ability to lead will at best be severely hampered...at worst made impossible.

So to begin with....

Take a couple of movies and call me in the morning!

Take a break from your psychotherapist, coach, counselor and watch a couple of movies and call me in the morning.

So what are these three movies that can change your life or at least your relationship to it?

1. Last Holiday
2. Click
3. The Devil Wears Prada

These three movies pose three very important ideas in personal growth and development!

No Money Down

One of the benefits of not having a great nights sleep is watching late night T.V.
Especially what are called paid programs. 

These paid programs are basically 30 minute commecials...

These are carefully crafted infomercials that are designed to get you following a carrot and my favorite is one that uses the phrase....

"No Money Down"....
