Thank you, Steven Slater and Jet Blue for Highlighting One Thing!
I have been reading about Jet Blue's flight attendant's meltdown, and whether or not Steven Slater started the affair or the passenger did, it still highlights something that we can all probably agree on. People in general have lost their manners, and society needs to get back to basics. Whether we are on the road, in an airplane, in the workplace, shopping, or at home, people are not treating each other properly and in many cases are just downright rude and disrespectful.
Winning Poker Lessons for Life and Business

The “Back to Basics” - The Three R’s
In turbulent times, we do well to re-assess basics: Where are we, and where do we want to go. Our re-assessment may uncover nothing … or silver-linings on the edges of dark clouds. What we uncover depends largely on our attitude. Studies indicate that attitude determines as much as 88% of success. Positive attitude is critical for leaders, managers, salespeople … everyone who wants to keep learning and earning!

A crisis is a terrible thing to waste
So what if the economy is hitting a rough spot? Once you’ve invested more in your customers, cut off the dead limbs, watered the good ones, and given your employees a chance to really shine your company is going to be stronger. If you have cash, there are great deals to be had, if you have good credit, banks are still lending. Everybody is willing to negotiate. It is a buyer’s market. Warren Buffet said “be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” Right now high quality talent is plentiful, there are many exceptional talents looking for work and many that will work at rates favorable to your clients’ new reality. Start the hunt, hire people you couldn’t afford 12 months ago, whether full time, part time or as a contractor.

Reaching Life Goals on Cruise Control
You can automatically progress towards what's really important without the usual pain.

Open Minds and Goal Setting
I was taught 25 years ago that a pure scientist has the most open of minds. The reason being quite simple in that unless you’ve conducted an experiment and developed proof one way or the other, how do you know it to be true or not. I was also informed by a scientist that I met on an airplane many moons ago that unless it gets funded it probably won’t be explored. But that’s another story.

New Beginnings
An airplane uses up to 90% of it’s power on the take-off, but once it gets to cruising height, around 36,000 to 41,000 feet, it only uses around 65% of it’s power. Like getting fit; getting fit is tough, but staying fit is easier. This applies to learning a new skill or starting a new venture, if you’ll excuse the pun.

Control is an Illusion
The reality is that we can’t control our environment; the economy, our buyers, families, partners or neighbors, the waiter at the restaurant, the valet with our car or airplane mechanic fixing the problem. Often we can’t even control ourselves.
Improvement Planning for Taking Charge of Change
Effective learning and capability development doesn't happen just because we want it to. For example, empowering without enabling isn't just foolish it's unethical.
