Men Need No Help

by John Bagwell on June 30, 2011 · 0 comments

It is one of the unspoken rules men live by, but it could not be further from the truth.  You guys out there know exactly what I’m talking about.  We never get lost, we always know the answer, we cannot possibly fail, and we never, ever ask for help. As a teen in high school, [...]

Liked or Respected

by John Bagwell on June 29, 2011 · 0 comments

When it comes to moms and dads, both are loved, but the overwhelming evidence points to moms being liked and dads being respected.  While there is a balance of both (moms and dads are both liked and respected in varying degrees) the heavier “like” for children seem to be for mom, and the heavier “respect” [...]

Good Better Best

by John Bagwell on June 27, 2011 · 0 comments

An old chant I’ve heard used in team sports goes something like this: “Good better BEST! Never let it REST! Until your good is BETTER! And your better is BEST!” I’ve even read a book written by Jim Collins titled “Good to Great”.  The great theme they have in common was worded by the 18th [...]

A Kind Word

by John Bagwell on June 25, 2011 · 0 comments

For some reason, my mind has blocked the actual event of whatever was going on at the time, all I remember is that I was with a friend, and something happened that made me really angry at someone in a really short time.  I looked over at my friend, and with a very sympathetic look [...]

Right Now!

by John Bagwell on June 24, 2011 · 0 comments

Why is it that people pray for patience the most when they are completely frustrated?  “God I need patience and I need it right now!”  We want to live right, we want to do right, but if we have not prepared for a situation before it presents itself, we will usually find ourselves in some [...]

A short, small, but now famous book that penetrated the business world many years back was “Who Moved My Cheese?” by Spencer Johnson.  In brief, the book is about making adjustments in business to suit the climate that exists now instead of trying to do business in the climate of the past.  It is about [...]

Brotherly Love

by John Bagwell on June 21, 2011 · 0 comments

Men, generally speaking, are not much for public displays of affection . . . especially if the other person to whom some form of affection is being displayed is another man.  That’s why only very good friends will usually hug each other, and even then it is a very “manly” hug and only for usually [...]
