I had hoped to finish another vlog today but thanks to a dead battery and an errant bell that will have to be on the schedule for tomorrow. So today I thought I’d take the time today to talk about lifestyle. One thing I’ve learned from my years of travel overseas is that people inevitably…
Let me start off this post with a small confession. For years, I thought I would never be able to learn a foreign language. My parent spoke English. I spoke English. And luckily, speaking English alone, we were able to get by despite living in South East Asia for years. For me, I thought studying…
Friends and family…they’re irreplaceable. They are there for us when we need them and always willing to lend a helping hand. That said, they are often the biggest killers of dreams. They are the first to tell us that something won’t work and all the reasons why we should just give up. And many times,…

Anyone who dreams of becoming a millionaire must understand that first and foremost it starts with our thinking. How we see the world often changes depending on whether we are rich, poor or somewhere in-between. The rich are excited about all the opportunities that exist. Those on the other side of the spectrum sometimes feel…
Socrates is probably the most famous philosopher and teacher ever. So anyone who is interested in becoming a better teacher, or a psychologist for that matter, would do well to study his methods. Socrates believed so strongly in his methods that when he was asked to stop his teaching or drink hemlock (a poison) that…
As a child I always considered taking a martial art. I would walk past the room where students were training and thought, “Boy, I’d love to learn that.” But then I saw kids much younger than I was in the class and thought that maybe I was too old. Can you believe that, I was…
