I really wonder how accidents do not happen with such incomprehensible driving.

Video: Drinking & Driving - Can You Live With The Shame?
Drinking and driving, no matter how casual or how little, will cause a problem if you’re not careful.
If you really have to drink, don’t drive home immediately. Give yourself 30 minutes cool down time and drink lots of water. Although this may delay your journey, it might save your life and the life you might kill.
Be safe. Think of your loved ones and other people’s loved ones.
Everyone belongs to someone else. Don’t snatch that away from others. You have no right to.
Straight Talk for Success: Common Sense Ideas That Won't Let You Down [Excerpt]
- By Bud Bilanich
I love stories. I think they are a very powerful way of making important points.
Here's one of my favorites about self-confidence:
The business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you." He asked the man his name and wrote out a check. He pushed it into his hand, and said, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time." Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world! "I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business.
With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again. Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man. "I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller." And she led the old man away by the arm. The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after. As nice as this story is, I doubt if it is actually true. However, like a lot of fables, it makes a great common sense point about career and life success. If you believe in yourself and your success, you are likely to find ways to make that belief come true. Think about it.
Positoovity
Cathy, my wife, and I had the pleasure of seeing "The Little Mermaid," a new Disney musical in its pre-Broadway engagement. It was very cool to be able to see a play that will likely become a big hit prior to its Broadway opening. It was even better because the title role of Ariel is played by Denver native Sierra Boggess, and I live in Denver. I bring up this production because of the first number in the second act -- Positoovity." If you don't know the story, Ariel has just sold her voice to her wicked aunt in order to leave the sea and become human in order to capture the heart of Prince Eric. There is one caveat. Ariel must entice the Prince to kiss her within three days. As the second act opens, Ariel is lying on the beach with her new legs. However, she finds that walking is a lot more difficult than she thought it would be. She is about to give up when Scuttle the seagull happens by. Scuttle, a master of the malapropism, tells her she can't give up and that she needs to get herself some "positoovity." Scuttle and his fellow seagulls then sing a rousing song about the power of positoovity to Ariel. I loved it.
"Positoovity" is a great, fun song, but its message is even better. We all need some positoovity in our lives -- positoovity, loosely defined, is belief in oneself. Positoove people look at the bright side of things and don't give up. And that's a great common sense message. Get some positoovity in your life, and you'll be well on your way to success.
Experience and Confidence
Stan Smith is a legendary tennis player. He has won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. In 1972, he ended the year as the number one player in the world. He is a member of the Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, RI. I once saw a great quote from him: "Experience tells you what to do. Confidence allows you to do it." I like Mr. Smith's quote because it relates to all three aspects of self-confidence: optimism, dealing with your fears, and surrounding yourself with positive people. Experience can be a cruel teacher. The best learnings often come from the worst experiences.
To take advantage of your experience, you need to be optimistic. You need to believe that you can learn something from your failures and put this knowledge to good use. You also need to be willing to face your fears. You need to be willing to put yourself back in a situation in which you have previously failed, and to try something new that will help you succeed. Finally, you need to have a cadre of supportive, positive people around you. These people can help you stay optimistic and help you face your fears. These positive people can also coach you to help you determine what you are going to do to turn around your performance.
The common sense point here is simple. We all fail from time to time. Career and life stars use the experience they gain from these failures to move ahead in their lives and careers. They use their optimism, willingness to face their fears, and the positive people in their lives to build their confidence to help them take advantage of their experiences.

Think Outside the Box -- How Limited Beliefs and Fear Keep Us from Getting What We Want
- By Dyan Garris
What we believe definitely has power to shape our lives. The chatter that goes around in your head definitely has power to shape your life. That is where the laws of attraction and the power of positive thinking come in to play. But this is only part of the story. Ultimately it's what you DO with your belief system that has power to transform your life.
For illustrative purposes, let's say you live in a box. The inside of the box is cozy and comfortable. You're happy in there. But the box has no windows. One day you decide you need to broaden your horizons, so you gingerly cut a large hole in the side of the box. This gives you a very nice view of what is going on outside your living quarters. You gaze out in wonder from the safety of your little dwelling, and you can see leafy green trees and other interesting shrubbery.
After a while you decide to expand your view so you cut a hole in the opposite side of the box. Now you have yet another view of the outside world. Out of this window you can see horses grazing peacefully right outside your box. You are amazed. You had no idea this was going on outside.
At some point you decide to open an additional portal on another side of the box. You're a little scared by this because you now think you may be cutting too many holes in your abode. You begin to doubt yourself and start thinking that you may be making a place for rain to get in rather than expanding your view. You worry and fret about compromising the structural integrity of your box. But then you tell yourself that it worked out just fine on the other sides, so what could possibly go wrong?
You tell yourself that if you don't cut the additional hole, you do have a nice view out of two windows and maybe that's just fine. But you've decided that you don't want to be limited anymore; you want to see what else is going on out there. So you gather your courage and do it anyway. Now you have a completely different view. You can see a beautiful lake out there. You are in awe. You decide to do this on the remaining side too, this time with enthusiasm instead of fear. Now you have a panoramic view. It's lovely and enjoyable and you are quite pleased with yourself for taking a few chances.
Some of you reading this were thinking that something bad was going to happen with all of this hole cutting. What is this based on? Why is your mind going to the negative? Study where these negative belief systems have originated from. Fear is very limiting and will keep you from getting what you desire.
Now here is what is important: You can sit there inside the box for the rest of your life, simply enjoying the view and thinking positive thoughts about it, or you can venture outside. You will discover that when you go outside you can ride the horses to greener pastures, eat the luscious ripe berries from the shrubbery, fish and/or swim in the lake. If you stay inside you can't do any of that. You can sit in there and wonder when a fish will jump out of the lake and land on top of your box or when fresh berries will arrive at your doorstep. It is a choice.

Straight Talk for Success: Common Sense Ideas That Won't Let You Down
- By Bud Bilanich
"Straight Talk for Success" is written by Bud Bilanich, who is also known as "The Common Sense Guy." He definitely has been given the correct title. I found "Straight Talk for Success" to be well-organized and easy to understand. The book is arranged in five parts. Each section has its own chapters that give you further advice on the topics presented. All of the information provided is based upon common sense, which makes it easier to apply. After reading the whole book, you will see that the title is perfect.
About a week ago, a friend commented that most of my "gurus" just provide me with information that should be common sense. I totally agree with this; however, sometimes when life gets in the way, we need to have other people lead us back to what makes sense. When events at work become so convoluted, it is easy to get lost and feel helpless. Reading "Straight Talk for Success" helped me put a lot of things into perspective. One of the biggest ways it will influence me is in how I deal with situations with other people, especially co-workers, one in particular. Bilanich reminded me to act assertively, keep my integrity, and to learn from the situation.
The biggest feeling that I had when I finished reading "Straight Talk for Success" was excitement. I am looking forward to applying the principles that I learned to my career so that I can get myself out of a slump that I feel myself falling into. I am looking forward to putting these new tools to work, so that I can present myself with confidence and integrity. It feels so good to be excited about doing something well, especially when I know that my career helps others.
I highly recommend this book for people in the work world. It is appropriate for those at every stage of their career. It would make a wonderful gift for a college graduate who is just starting out. I wish I had something like this way back when. It will also be good for people who are in the middle of their career when they feel themselves hitting rough patches. People nearing retirement can still benefit from this book because it will help them finish strong. "Straight Talk for Success" would also be the perfect text for a work retreat. --Paige Lovitt for Reader Views

Joke: Deaf Mute on the Wrong Bus
A woman gets on a city bus.
She looks at the driver and holds up one hand; the driver holds up two hands.
Next, the woman points up; the driver points down.
Then, the woman grabs her breast; the driver grabs his crotch.
Finally, the woman grabs her butt and gets off the bus.
A curious passenger asked the bus driver what the odd motions were all about.
The driver explained, "The woman is a deaf-mute. She asked me if a bus ride is five cents, and I told her it was ten cents. Next, she asked if the bus was going uptown, and I told her it was going downtown. Then, she asked if the bus was going pass the milk-farm, and I told her it was going pass the ball-park."
The passenger interjected, Okay, but why did she grab her butt as she left the bus?"
The driver continued, she replied "Oh shit, I'm on the wrong bus!"

Wife & Husband's Diary
WIFE's DIARY
Sunday night.
I thought he was acting weird.
We had made plans to meet at a cafe to have coffee.
I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset
that I was a bit late, but he made no comment.
Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk.
He agreed but he kept quiet and absent.
I asked him what was wrong.
He said: "Nothing."
I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.
He said it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry.
On the way home I told him that I loved him.
He simply smiled and kept driving.
I can't explain his behavior;
I don't know why he didn't say: "I love u, too."
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.
He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant and absent.
Finally, I decided to go to bed.
About 10 minutes later he came to bed.
I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him with the
situation but he had fallen asleep.
I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep.
I don't know what to do.
I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.
