Doreen Nagle: Ability to bounce back moves kids forward

Teaching children to bounce back doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to have their feelings of frustration, hurt or anger. Instead, they should learn how to move through those feelings without becoming mired down in them. Help them get on with life by reminding them they have dreams they want to fulfill despite disappointments. Resiliency means developing a "feel the fear and do it anyway" attitude.

Personal mastery and professional competence

Your biggest challenge is learning how to trap the negative mental dialogue that occurs during adversity. Don’t allow negative situations ruin your mental well being. This ability to deal with adverse adversity can be found in the mind set of every great athlete, businessman, investor, and scientist

Do you believe that your ultimate outcome in life are externally determined or do you believe that how your life turns out is ultimately up to you, that despite all the things that happen, you and only you are responsible. Consider the global Airline industry and think of all the events and factors outside managerial control that have hit it since 1972: fuel Hike shocks, high interest rates, deregulation, wars and more recently the threat of terrorism and the September 11,2000 bombing of the twin towers of the world trade centre in new York city.

The extension of God’s grace and mercy

Did not you read of those times when the people provoked God to anger, due to their rebellious attitude and deeds, and Moses and Aaron fell on their faces and prayed to the God for mercy and for time to work with the people?

Both the modern Moses and the modern Aaron have likewise prayed to Allah for time to get to our people, out of hearts filled with intense compassionate love. They warned of a day specific day that is all but upon us, when God will punish those who reject the warnings these two have and are giving.

More next issue, Allah willing.

Pastor: Drugs haunted Sheley

Both cocaine and meth use can lead to violent behavior, lying, stealing, adopting a superior attitude or grandiosity, a loss of ambition, a shorter temper, increased impulsive behavior, paranoia, anxiety and denial of responsibility, Burrow said. "Nick, he doesn't handle stress, and when there's a lot of pressure on him, he tends to look for drugs and alcohol," Holly Sheley said. "So then he continues on the path that's he's on because he doesn't know how to quit." Holly Sheley recalled the events of Monday, June 23, the last day she saw her husband. Nicholas Sheley bought a beer in Rockford, and then after returning to the place where the couple had been staying recently in Mount Morris, he bought more beer, and then a bottle of Hennessy cognac. "I was hesitant at first, and I said, 'Nick, you know what happens,'" Holly Sheley explained, referring to her husband's tendency to abuse drugs after drinking.

Variety of characters in Wilson's 'Century Cycle'

The primary character whose influence dominates the entire cycle, Aunt Esther, is a towering figure whose combination of folk wisdom and mystical insight becomes the guiding light for many characters. She reaches biblical and mythological status as the plays unfold, finally dying at the age of 366.

A brief summary of the plays in the second half of the cycle introduces characters who are young and impatient, old and wise, steeped in Biblical tradition and skeptical of the white man's God, committed to spouse and children and unfaithful and self-centered, first generation entrepreneurs and third-generation con men, principled preachers and ex-cons. All of these characters carry their burdens into our lives and breathe intense life into each play.

"Fences," set in the 1950s, chronicles the frustrations of a great baseball player, Troy Maxon, who never played an inning in the major leagues because of the color line.

Local teen to represent Canada

“My motivation is myself," he said. “I want to be the best, so it keeps me training all the time. I'm not where I want to be and I still have a lot of work to do. I'm happy with the progress."

Lanteinge isn't just committed to himself. He wants others at the club to taste success, as well, and will do whatever it takes to help them out.

“We made him an assistant coach at the club because he goes above and beyond his own training to help others train," Boyne said.

Lanteigne is no stranger to international success. Over the past three years, he has won four world titles, in traditional kata and weapons, with the World Karate Association and National Blackbelt League.

“I've learned a lot about myself through this sport," he said. “It forces me to work hard, set goals and keeps me in shape.

Changed lives

This emerging story inverts the popular belief that there's something permanently wrong with manufacturing or, perhaps, with the entire economy, so wrong that great numbers of people simply can't ever expect decent work. Such a belief leads either to schemes to rewrite economic rules or to a despair that, without massive intervention by the state, the future is hopeless.

The future is not hopeless either at the macro level or for individuals. People who want better work can adapt, which is a lot more likely and feasible than changing everything else to accommodate them.

Not that this means they're on their own. Gateway's success shows that if public policy has a role, it is to create opportunities for people to change.

"We firmly believe there are lots of good programs out there," said McNelly, who before working for the Manufacturing Institute oversaw job training innovation for the U.S.

Cheers and Jeers: Customer displeased with paint job

The attitude of all the employees is wonderful.

Cheers to a wonderful person by the name of Beverly Green! She basically took care of me when I had surgery and helped me in so many ways, going above and beyond, and I am greatly appreciative of that.

I would also like to say cheers to Phillip Smith, William “Bill” Cordero, Dirie Patterson, Cecelia Manchion, Cheri Mendez, Arrie Cole, Merlene McKinnon and Jeffery Williams for your kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity!

Save Buriganga, save Dhaka

But, unfortunately, our experience is that motivation seldom works. We are more habituated to act under compulsion. So, to save and restore the Buriganga to its original bliss, there would be required a master plan of actions. The actions against the accumulated odds may have to be rude, but then that would be for the sake of the liveability of the city, for its 15 million citizens.

There might have been small encroachments on the river also earlier than 1972 before Dhaka assumed its present status of capital of sovereign Bangladesh. But that is just not noticeable in the glare of the scale the practice has assumed after 1972. Nowhere in the world perhaps people have been so indifferent to their past and so oblivious of their future in pursuit of their present. What a "present" -- devoid of the past glory and future sustainability! So what, has been our attitude.

No monkey business

The Origin`85 undermined to some extent the belief that in His infinite wisdom God created the universe and placed man at the centre of His creation � "like a king in a palace stored with all to please him," to quote theologian F.B. Meyer.

The creationists condemned Darwin as the wickedest, the most contrived and the most fraudulent. "If the book be true, the labours of sober induction are in vain; religion is a lie; human law is a mass of folly, and a base injustice; morality is moonshine; our labours for the black people of Africa were works of madness; and man and woman are only better beasts", lamented one.

Progressive Values Stories: Zeus Yiamouyiannis on Innovation and

I like to tell people I'm an old-school conservative, with personal responsibility in the sense of honoring traditions, the wisdom that's gone before you -- particularly during the depression era generation -- incredible wisdom around sticking together, in terms of getting by on very little.

And I think these kinds of values help give you a good foundation. If you take the best of the different traditions, a good progressive isn't so much balancing, but integrating. They've been made the opposites, but they ought not be. But by bringing them together, and the thing that makes a progressive distinct from either a liberal or a conservative in my opinion, is their ability to take the wisdom before them, but integrate it and go forward in a new, imaginative and innovative way. That's to me what makes a progressive progressive.

It's about respect

That self-respect translates later into the motivation to overcome the next challenge. In competition and life, it's up to the athlete to take what they've learned and put it to good use. Next time you watch your kid at a sporting event keep in mind the lack of respect some of them show for each other, their coaches, and most of all, the one with his head down who has none for himself. .

Determination trumps Spurrier's '07 disappointment

Attitude.

"Everything we do is about finishing the season strong, and to do that we have to have toughness, discipline and attitude," senior receiver Kenny McKinley said. "Coach went out and got us some great players in recruiting, he brought in great coaches, and there's no reason now that we shouldn't win."

With victories during his tenure over Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, Spurrier said he believes the Gamecocks are nearing the time to take the program to the next level. And he may finally have the talent to do it.

"We need to win the (SEC East) division somewhere along the way," said Spurrier, 63. "That's the next step we need to take, or else if that doesn't happen in about five years, then probably somebody else needs to try to do it because we've got a lot of good players.

Give us a big, manly hug

It is affectionate but manly, and combines the attitude of the modern metrosexual with the physicality of rutting stags.

Obviously, social intimacy between men is not necessarily the preserve of societies with enlightened attitudes towards homosexuality, otherwise Saudi Arabia (where men hold hands) would be a bastion of tolerance. However, Pat Fitzpatrick of the University of Limerick's department of sociology believes that the lingering reticence about public displays of affection is not solely down to Irish men's fears that their sexuality might be compromised or questioned.

"Men tend to monitor and police their emotionality for anything that might appear feminine," he says. "So there would be a distancing from anything that contains expressions of femininity.
