The Challenges and Joys of Teaching
Today I say “so long” to my Purdue University Global (PUG) students, as it’s their last day in my class. Next week I will welcome my new group. I always get sappy during the last few days of class, especially when I have a great connection with the students. This particular class was super awesome.…

What I Shared With a Student That May be Helpful to You
I hope that it helps to snatch them out of their pit and motivates them to run, walk, crawl or even roll to the victory line. They may not cross in first place, but they will cross. Every race we start we’re expected to finish.

This Week I Think of and Celebrate Brandon
March 20, 2018 would have been Brandon’s 36th birthday. I can never forget my friend’s birthday. My iPhone calendar reminds me one week before and also on the day of. Also, his birthday is the day before my paternal grandmother’s. This week I’ve spent each day reflecting over my memories of Brandon Clarke, aka “B…

When You Look in The Mirror What Body Do You Wish You Saw Instead of The One You See?
A few months ago I was having dinner with a friend of mine and we were talking about working out and getting back in shape. I’ve been like a bad debtor, putting in the work (paying my debt) then stopping and hiding out for weeks and months, and then starting up again. My consistent pursuit…

What My Long Beach State Track T-Shirt Symbolizes to Mean
My collegiate track and field days were short-lived. After skipping the season my junior year in high school and having an awful senior year season I steered away from the track while attending Santa Ana College (Rancho Santiago Community College). But the sprinter’s bug bit me while attending California State University, Long Beach (affectionately known…

Here’s What I Was Doing on New Year’s Eve to Prepare for 2018
I decided to share a video rather than type a lengthy message. Don’t judge the quality of the video–I casually recorded it while lounging on my sofa. Please simply focus on the content of my message. If you’re motivated to do so, be sure to reach out to me so that we can connect this…

The Year-End Goal Carryover Must Stop Now 😂
I saw this and fell out laughing. If this is honestly you, just go ahead and knock it out this year. I know I’m guilty of “year-end carryover” and not in a good way. Life is too short to end it with regrets. Focus on accomplishing some of those goals THIS month. Then every month…

Thought of the Day: Stop Looking For The Short Cut And Just Put in The Work!
No one faults the person who tried yet failed. But we roll our eyes in disgust at the lazy person who is shocked and dismayed that their lack of effort didn’t result in a win. Get your butt up and put in the work!

Thought of the Day: Think and Act Like a Spider 🕷
We can learn a lot from spiders (even though they gross me out BIG time). Here are three photos taken over two days. This last one was from last night and although it freaked me out it also amazed me. For almost one week now I’ve seen this spider working hard. Every night this HUGE…

Dream Chasers, Dream Saboteurs: The Last Three Years of My Life Unveiled as Your Lesson
I can’t believe that it’s already mid-July. It seems like last week was the first week of January. Maybe it’s our busyness or the chaos of life intertwined with the never-sleeping age of technology that keeps us buzzed, connected, and feeling like time is passing us by. Some days feel like they zoom by while…

Focus on Your Strengths and Delegate or Simply Ignore Your Weaknesses
We’ve been programmed since our K-12 days to obsess over our weaknesses, or like we used to say when I was a kid, “what you suck at“, because for some odd reason researchers and academics are obsessed at finding the smartest students and separating them from the “dumbest” students, and constantly reminding the “dumb” students…
