Men v. Woman

The topic of men vs women has been discussed for ages. But I am going to offer my insight in a way that, I think, will help many listeners, especially the men. Because what I’ve discovered is, frankly and in all humility, brilliant.

Organize a Child’s Event Today and There Must Be Snacks

Somehow the settlers of this great nation gathered their belongings and walked west from one side of this continent to the other. They experienced hunger, heat, floods, mountain ranges to cross, angry and unwelcoming tribes, and goodness knows what else. No one met them along the way with snacks.

Critical of our state? Don’t complain. Engage.

My buddy in New York state who quit and left, and who’s trying to ridicule those of us that are proud to call Alabama our home is, actually, a coward. He didn’t like the way it was going so he took his toys and left. He gave up. He’s pouting and holding his breath. Don’t let that be you. Don’t let that be me. If you don’t like it, work to change it. Get involved. Engage.

Each City’s Tallest Building Says a Lot About that City

Find each city’s tallest building and that’s what that city values the most. Or so said a college professor back in the day. So I put his theory to the test last fall as my business travel took me across the country.

Tithers

What the research revealed, though, was that the younger church members equated tithing to generosity, which it, of course, is. But what generosity meant to them was treating people nicely and kindly, not giving money to the church.

Software and Maps

My friend gave the young employee the plant schematic, which is, essentially, a map, and told him to go find the terminal and do the needed software update while he visited with the plant manager. The young man returned a little while later and asked his boss to step outside. He couldn’t find the terminal, he said.

Marston Family Great Chain of Being

Below the kids and their devices is a tie between the dog and the trampoline (and notice that I’m not on the list yet). The dog and trampoline were begged for by the kids with heaps of promises about the attention, care, and upkeep that will be given to both but are now mostly neglected and only leave big brown spots in my yard.

We Welcomed the Elf On the Shelf. Then it Became a Problem.

First the elf wrote messages that he had to return to the North Pole for a multi-day conference with Santa and he’d be back next week. Since I travel to conferences a good bit, the kids thought it was reasonable; they understood. Then we realized we might could manipulate the kids by having the elf leave notes about their behavior, so the elf began commenting on discipline issues and grades and how he had to report everything to Santa.

Football again? No, Thank You.

Red-faced, spittle spewing men, often grossly overweight, screaming in my face aren’t motivational to me. They are, in fact, un-motivational. They make me wonder. And I remember telling one such coach during a drill, “Hey. How about a little perspective? It’s just footwork” after he spewed forth in my face about something. This led to more spewing and more spittle, this time much closer. I remember thinking “Poor man. I wonder if he’s unhappy.”

I Said The Wrong Thing

Due to the nature of my business I’m often asked these types of questions. They often include some element of “what’s wrong with kids these days.” What I try to explain is that “these kids,” have come from us. We made them. Their values and behaviors and dependencies developed in our homes, at ball fields where you and I were the coaches, in the classrooms where people like you and me were their teachers. We made them. We’re responsible.
