OCCASIONALLY, IT TURNS OUT TO INTEREST OTHERS. I WRITE SCREENPLAYS, ACT, DRAW, AND WAS THE IMAGE ON A BEST SELLER BOOK
I DESIGNED THE YEARBOOK COVER FOR MY HS BY DRAWING A DEVIL WITH HIS PROFILE AS THE BACK GROUND. WE WERE THE BLUE DEVILS.
I PLAY THE DRUMS. I SING...JUST NOT WELL. I SCREAM REALLY LOUD THOUGH.
I AM IN GOOD HEALTH, AND HAVE LEARNED TO BE A GOOD PARENT BY LEARNING TO LISTEN. I HANDLE CONFLICT RESOLUTION LIKE COURT. THEY CAN PRETTY MUCH PREDICT HOW I HANDLE IT WHEN ONE TELLS ON THE OTHER...THEY ALWAYS BOTH HAVE A ROLE IN THE DISPUTE. I TEACH THEM TO COMMUNICATE WHAT THEY WANT WITHOUT HOSTILITY. BE FAIR. PUT OTHERS FIRST, AND OTHERS START PUTTING U FIRST. I EXPLAIN HOW KINDNESS IN CONFLICT ACTUALLY IS A WAY TO GET WHAT YOU WANTED. I RARELY HAVE TO PUT ON THE BLACK ROBE AND GRAB THE GAVEL ANYMORE. LISTENING, REPEATING, AND THEN SUGGESTING WHERE THEY COULD HAVE HANDLED THE SITUATION BETTER AND IN A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE WAY.
KINDNESS SPAWNS KINDNESS. HOSTILITY, LIKEWISE, SPAWNS HOSTILITY. IT STARTS WITH ME. I CANT REACT WITH IMPATIENCE OR BE INTEMPERATE AND HOLD THEM TO A HIGHER STANDARD.
WHEN I DO MESS UP, I GO BACK AND TELL THEM HOW I HANDLED THINGS WERE AFFECTED BY OUTSIDE FACTORS OR I JUST WAS WRONG. TREATING KIDS WITH RESPECT HAS EARNED MY HOME PEACEFUL RELATIONS, DESPITE EXTERNAL PROBLEMS.
I ALSO TELL THEM THAT I DONT EXPECT PERFECTION FROM THEM, BUT I DO EXPECT AN EFFORT ACCOMPANIED BY PROGRESS IN MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TO PROTECT OUR HOME'S ENVIRONMENT. EXAMPLES OF HOW OTHER KIDS HAVE IT, HAVE THEM ON BOARD WITH THE PLAN.
I STUDIED BEHAVIOR AND PSYCHOLOGY IN SCHOOL. BUT I LEARNED TO PAY ATTENTION TO BEHAVIORS AND CONSIDERED WHAT THE CAUSES TO CERTAIN BEHAVIORS WERE. WHAT IS BEHIND THE ANGER?
I STILL MAY GET INTO FAMILY THERAPY OR TECHNICALLY CHILD PSYCHOLOGY.
I HAVE BEEN IN BIZ AND DID VERY WELL. I WAS THE YOUNGEST CEO OF A MULTI STATE BROKERAGE IN THE HISTOR OF THE CORPORATION. I APPEARED AS SPOKESPERSON,WROTE, AND EVEN CO DIRECTED NEARLY A DOZEN TV ADS. I WAS THE MOST PROFITABLE SALESPERSON FOR ANOTHER CORPORATION IN 1995 AND WAS REWARDED WITH A TRIP TO THE CARIBBEAN, ALL EXPENSES PAID. I WATCHED THE SUN SET ON DEC 31ST OVER TURQUOISE WATER ON A WHITE SAND BEACH. THE GENTLE SOUND OF THE WAVES, A COLD DRINK IN MY HAND. A MEMORY THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE LAST I LOSE.
ALL RIGHT. THERE WE HAVE MY FIRST BLOG POSTING. IT MAY SOUND LIKE I HAD A LOT OF BOASTING TO DO, BUT I AM A HUMBLE GUY. I SEE THINGS FOR WHAT THEY ARE. I AM HONEST. AND WAS ONCE TOLD I COULD SELL SNOW TO ESKIMOS WITH MY MANNER.
I HAVE A DARK SIDE. I AM A FLAWED HUMAN BEING. I MAINTAINED A GPA OF 3.92 OVER 5 SEMESTERS AND STILL DO SOME OF THE STUPIDEST THINGS.
WELL D'AS ALL4NOW
