"Make Today Count" by John C. Maxwell is a small hardcover book that packs a good wallop in its 136 pages. The tag line on the covers states, "The Secret Of Your Success Is Determined By Your Daily Agenda." Nothing could be more true. The only thing we really control is "now." We can look back at the past and we can plan for the future, but now, today, is the only thing...

What do you do when you get on an airplane? After you have stowed your carry on, sat down, and buckled up? Honestly, do you listen to the flight attendant's safety instructions? Or do you go about your own business, reading, chatting, or what not and completely tune out the person telling you where the exits are, how to use your seatbelt, and where the nearest bathroom is located? Do you read the...

The recent shooting of a criminal attempting to rob his store by fifty-seven year old pharmacist Jerome Ersland in Oklahoma City raises the question of what is justified in defending oneself, and what crosses the line. It also provides a good introduction to this article and an excellent example in the legal chapter of a book I'm working on. Ersland has been charged with first-degree murder for killing...

Stop for a moment and answer this question, "what does your image communicate about you?" If you need to, go stand in front of a mirror and change the question to, "what does my image communicate about me?" Do people make instant judgments about you by what you wear? Yes! We all do it to a certain degree. Sure, we all know about not judging a book by its cover, but it is still done....

"Street Chin Na: Joint Locking and Bone Breaking Techniques for the Street" with Willie "The Bam" Johnson is a good program on locking and tough training produced by Paladin Press. The DVD was not filmed in Paladin's studio, but rather in Johnson's school with Johnson and a few of his students. Johnson brings a lot of energy with his demonstrations and teaching, and the quality...

One of the positive traits the military is known for distilling in those that serve is discipline. In fact, this is an extremely important trait, not just for those who serve in the military, but for life. General H. Norman Schwarzkopf once commented, "The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it." Discipline, or rather, being disciplined,...

I am currently reading and enjoying A User's Manual For The Human Experience by Michael W. Dean. It is an interesting book with some gold nuggets of advice in a variety of areas. One passage in particular made me stop for a moment and reflect on what he wrote. Here is that passage: "DO EVERYTHING AS IF YOU'LL BE REMEMBERED FOR ONLY THAT ONE THING - I do everything I do with the idea that it might...

This is a lesson it took Dan Clark many years of searching to discover, and the final words of the last chapter in this riveting and candid account of his life, career, and steroid addiction. "Gladiator: A True Story of 'Roids, Rage, And Redemption" by Dan Clark, aka...

"Street Stoppers: The Martial Arts' Most Devastating Trips Sweeps and Throws for Real Fighting by Mark Mireles and Loren W. Christensen is a good book.

Spencer Johnson has done very well for himself by taking simple lessons and sharing them in short stories. It is not surprising that USA Today called him "The King of Parables." "Peaks and Valleys: Making Good And Bad Times Work For You - At Work And In Life" is Johnson's newest parable, and like those before it, this book contains more than meets the eye. The book is short, only...
