Who are you?

It seems easy right?
So are you really able to tell me who you are?

This is an Anger Management dialogue:

- "Who are you?"
- "Well, I am an executive assistant at a major pet products company..."
- "I don't want you to tell us what you do. I want you to tell us who you are."
- "All right... I'm a pretty good guy. I like playing tennis on occasion..."
- "Also, not your hobbies, Dave. Just simple: tell us who you are."

I'm sure you haven't asked yourself this question... have you? You should.

Let's try it out. Are you...

... a man/woman?
... a son/daughter?
... a father/mother?
... a boss?
... optimistic?
... pessimistic?
... realistic?
... religious?
... sporty?
... extrovert?
... happy?

So I do know now what you do and your hobbies as well, but I still don't know who you are. So far I'm affraid you haven't answered enough to cover the question.

Unfinished business to settle

PGA Championship, the last Major of the season, commences today. It lasts until Saturday, and takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in Southern Hills Country Club to be precise.

Tiger Woods is obviously the focus of attention, because he’s the current champion, and he also won 1999 and 2000 series.

Is bad luck over him? I mean, he came within an inch of winning Masters and US Open, but he finally lost.

In case of losing again, it will be a blank season… That’s indeed pressure!

The power of Sport

You may be surprised after reading my first post, especially when reading that sport can drive the world…

Are you? If so, please watch the movie “Remember the Titans” and you’ll understand me. Superb! It’s worth it.

Changes only happen when someone dares to defy the status quo. Somehow, Herman Boone and Bill Yoast knew it and they both were able to improve the world by doing what they did the best: sport.

There’re no important changes without pain, that’s the harsh reality of the matter.

Here you have a couple of samples:





And of course don't miss this motivation speech...terrific!:
