81. You Don't Find All Drunks in the Gutter: The Story of a Functional Alcoholic! By Robert Wummer
    Today, August 22, 2005, I am clean and sober for eight years which simply means today I am still an alcoholic and on this day I will choose not to pick up a drink. If you look at me today and compared my appearance to eight years ago you probably would not notice much difference (with the exception of a few more wrinkles). Back then I had a pretty high-powered job with a good salary and was working towards my master’s degree. Today I work as an…

And remember how you began to believe that same thing coming into your adulthood to one extent or anothe…



84. Why Not Reinvent The Wheel? By Fran Briggs
    "Why go and reinvent the wheel?" It's a question that's been around for centuries; right? Here's a better question: Why not reinvent the wheel? As a Peak Performance Coach, I do a lot of personal development trainings for adults and children, alike. I love kids! They don't think like us adults.

85. In the Eyes of a Child By Rachelle Arlin Credo
    It was way past 10:00 pm when I came home from a grueling day of schoolwork and extracurricular activities. The wind was rustling about overhead as I paced through the door of our humble abode. I moved towards the nearest couch and plumped myself to rest. Defeat and exhaustion filled my frame as I laid back against the soft cushions. But then I remembered our Hematology project which was due the next day. Galvanized, I scrambled off my feet and…

87. Keeping Your Attitude Up When Circumstances Are Down By Chris Widener
    Everyone knows that a positive attitude is key to the successful life. But what happens when things go wrong? What happens when circumstances deal us a blow?

89. Forcing Inspiration By Kal Bishop
    Most people, when they have to complete a creative endeavour, often tend to wait for inspiration. It is not unusual to find, therefore, that most people take inordinately long to complete projects or never finish them at all. Look at the infinite number of people with half-finished first-drafts under their bed. This reveals a lack of understanding of how the mind and creativity work, for the best way to find a bucket-load of inspiration is to f…

91. Charity – Give To Receive! By Ashley Mettaroy
    We all know the truism that “charity begins at home.” Does it? And what is charity about, anyway?

The first two are about giving to the poor. The third is “an act or feeling of benevolence.” The fourth is “forbearance in judging others.” The last has two parts: “th…

94. The Brilliant You, Unreleased! By Fran Briggs
    You're a remarkable person. But, you knew that already. Still, buried among apathy, unbelief and inhibition, is the brilliant "you" waiting to be released. You already knew that, too. A few disappointments here, several temporary defeats there, and POOF! just like that, you settled for being a risk-conscious, opportunity: self-denied, generality. Nobody makes any progress by standing still. You're not an exception; and you're not alone.In …



95. Put To The Sword By Wayne Mitchell
    Direct Answers - Column for the week of December 23, 2002My girlfriend has an aggressive sense of humor. She teases and likes to parry put-downs.

No doubt this kind of dialogue is very common amongst some pe…

    I stepped up to the edge and looked down. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath... and jumped in head first.The summer I turned 13 was spent at the swimming pool. We swam at a huge olympic size pool with three diving boards at one end, two low dives and one high dive.I had bragged to my friends that I could execute the perfect swan dive off the high board. Eventually, I was challenged to prove it. No problem. I believed that I could. In my imagi…
