Life is a series of problem-solving events. And the way you approach these problems will determine how successful you are in solving them.
As a wise person once observed, “The problem isn’t the problem. The way you handle the problem is the problem.”
For a look at how great problem-solvers approach their work, here’s an article. It’s [...]
Your focus is your future. Correct focus can help you perform at your peak, beat the odds and win the big one.
The good news is that you have a great ability to focus. If you don’t believe me, think abut the last time you watched a great TV show. You were really locked in.
The bad new [...]
Excuse the short post, but I saw this item on Twitter and wanted to get it to you quickly. It’s former Yankees Manager Joe Torre giving his top six rules for managing players.

Bubba Watson won the Masters by hitting what looked to be an impossible shot.

An old sports writer friend once told a story about Moe Berg, a one-of-a-kind ballplayer who read 10 newspapers a day and happened to be an atomic spy for the United States.
Berg was a mediocre batter, but he did speak seven languages, prompting Dave Harris, an outfielder for the Washington Senators, to say, “Yeah, [...]
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
That’s what people say about picking stocks, and they could say the same thing about picking a quarterback.
With Peyton Manning fresh on the market, NFL teams must decide if he is the choice for them. Several teams have expressed interest, including the Miami Dolphins and New York [...]
Count me out of March Madness.
