[I was thinking about my two boys yesterday. They are amazing, and also normal and sometimes lazy – hey, they’re teenagers. It amazes me how much time they spend doing nothing (i.e., gaming, watching videos). I fight to remind myself that I too did a lot of nothing at their age. Then my inner pontificator […]

DANCE ANYWAY
Some people spend a lifetime trying to fit in. I understand. I tried for a while when I was young. What I eventually discovered is that fitting in precludes you from being fully you. Don’t get me wrong, whether young or old, I understand the social benefits of fitting in. They include more friends, moments of affirmation, more status, and […]
THREE TYPES OF GOALS
An excerpt from The Little Black Book of Leadership! Get your copy here: http://www.drdewett.com/books/ Let’s keep it simple and consider three major types of goals: performance goals, leadership goals, and life goals.

LOOKING BACK TO MOVE FORWARD
I’ve always found that at key points in time it’s fun to reflect about where you’ve been and where you’re going. It might be New Year’s or your birthday or the first day at a new job. As I think about the new year, I feel many new quotes bubbling inside me. If you’ve […]

This is simply a powerful observation about peace of mind and happiness. They say money can’t buy happiness. They are wrong. Research suggests that for many, more money equates to […]
BEHIND THE SMILE
A friend of mine posted this quote the other day, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” Versions of this have been attributed to many people. Regardless the author, the advice is sound. You never know what it might be: marriage difficulties, health problems, financial issues, a broken […]
MORE IS POSSIBLE
It’s been said that youth is wasted on the young. The implication is clear: you don’t appreciate what youth offers (e.g., energy, strength, optimism) until you’re older and it’s gone. Well, whoever said this is dead wrong. The truth is that age is just a number, but youth is a state of mind. It’s a […]
IT’S JUST STUFF
I’ve been riding motorcycles since the age of nineteen. My most recent was a 2006 Harley Davidson Street Bob. It was among the first models produced by Harley with blacked-out parts. Very cool. Six gears. Mini apes. I added loud Vance and Hines pipes in the aftermarket. It was a beast. I loved that bike. […]
