AN   EXCERPTS From the book "Wings to Fly" In my book,   “Wings to Fly”   I tell a shortened version of the following story. The story revolves around how we can set ourselves up for harm and failure without realizing that we are doing it. When we do, the consequences can be disastrous. Here’s the story. The owl and his friend, the little bird, were perched on a branch together. The wise owl kept looking over at the little bird who had a wing over his right eye and was crying. He kept thinking about what to say. He could see that the little bird was very upset and was crying uncontrollably. He was waiting for the little bird to tell him how come he was so upset and crying. Finally, he thought, “I will just ask him a simple question.” He turned to his friend, the little bird, and asked him; “Why are you crying?” The little bird looked up at his friend the owl and removed his wing from his right eye. The owl was shocked. He could see that the little bird had l

EXCERPTS From the book "Wings to Fly" Most people would immediately say, “Yes!” In my book,   “Wings to Fly ,”   I take a look at how to produce more good luck in your life. This is just one subject.   “Wings to Fly”   provides daily insights, one for each day of the year, ranging from relationships to productivity to self-confidence to name just a few Let’s look at luck. Seneca, the Roman philosopher said that “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.” Yet, many people never prepare to be lucky. They are into blind luck or dumb luck. Both are truly a matter of chance. There really isn’t much difference. A person with blind luck never sees the opportunity. It just happens. A person with dumb luck does something that is stupid or dangerous and against all odds they don’t get hurt. In one way both blind and dumb luck are the same. In each case, nobody saw the luck coming. Still, luck for most of us is when preparation does meets opportunity. When people mee

In “Wings To Fly” your daily lift off to soar to greater heights I discuss the power and influence of our associations.  Our associations are important because they touch, shape and mold us either for better or for worse.  Ask yourself: 1.  Who am I around? 2.  What is “Who” I am around, my associations, doing to me? 3.  What do they have me becoming? 4.  As things stand today, is that acceptable? The first question, who am I around may seem to be the easiest to answer.  You can make a list of all the people you are around.  That is a good start.  Also include in that list what you read and the TV you watch.  These are key elements of what you associate with in life. The second question, what is who I am around doing to me is a little more difficult.  Ask yourself how you are feeling and thinking after you have been with these people, watched your TV programs or after what you have read.   This second question must be answered as accurately as possible.  It requires some deep i

Storming And Conflict-A Challenge In the previous post we looked at the storming stage where there is a breaking away from the false harmony and individual power displays causing rifts can be present. This stage also highlights the tension between individual identity and being a team member. Ultimately, everything mentioned to this point will have an effect on team morale and productivity. Storming and conflict are a challenge. Yet, many observers of the team process agree that some form of conflict is beneficial as long as it is refocused onto task and purpose rather than focused on personality. Too little conflict may lead members to suppress their differences without resolving them-only to find that the differences resurface at a later time, throwing the team full force back into the storming stage. Conversely, too much conflict may destroy social relationships, the result being that team members are unable to work together. The storming stage, therefore, is
