Mr. Smith Goes to Texas
John Cali

My first real flying job was managing a small airport in West Texas. I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades — manager, flight instructor, charter pilot, bookkeeper, etc. You name it, and I did it.

In my role as charter pilot, I met a Mr. H. Allen Smith. He often hired our services so he could indulge his passion as a gadabout. Mr. Smith was a well known humor writer, and we both had fled the confines of New York State.

So we immediately had a common bond, and found we also had other common bonds.

Allen had moved to Texas shortly before I did, although he was semi-retired, and I was just a youngster starting out in my career.

Allen knew how to have fun. After all, he was a famous humor writer. He had friends as famous as he was all over the country.

I met some real characters through Allen.

I’m dating myself here. But there was Jack Schaefer, author of the classic western tale, Shane. The book was later made into a movie starring Alan Ladd. Then there was Wick Fowler of 2-Alarm Chili fame. Today, Wick’s company sells chile mix all over the country. Then there was that Texas cowboy, Ace Reid, who became a legendary cartoonist of the cowboy life. And there were many more unforgettable folks.

These people and Allen shared one passion in life. And that was to have fun. Lord, they knew how to party!

I didn’t even drink in those days. But they all made up for me, and then some! Nevertheless, I had a ball at all their fun-filled dinner parties which usually ran into the early pre-dawn hours.

Allen and his friends epitomized Joseph’s advice to us over the years — life is supposed to be fun, and our purpose in life is joy.

It was a short, but colorful and unforgettable part of my life. I’ll always remember it — and Allen. I’m deeply grateful Mr. Smith decided to go to Texas. God bless you, Allen — I miss you!

Chief Joseph

Friends, we’ve talked many times about the primary purpose of your life — joy. And we’ve talked many times about how important it is to have fun in your life.
Today, most of you walk in a troubled world, a world seemingly consumed with chaos and confusion. A world that does not seem safe. A world, in fact, many of you have seriously considered leaving, one way or another — even through what you call suicide.

If you feel that way now, or have ever felt that way, let it be okay. It is okay! You didn’t come here to stay forever anyway.

In one manner or another, you will leave this life, whether by “accident,” dis-ease, “ascension,” — or suicide.

Suicide takes many forms, for all of you decide, at some level of your awareness, the time and manner of your departure from this physical life. As someone once said, “You’re not going to get out of here alive.”

But our point here today is you are here now, and for however much longer you choose to stay. So why not have fun? Why not indulge yourself in whatever pleasures and passions bring you joy?

That’s what your life is all about, friends — joy!

Joy is your reason for being.

No matter what your physical circumstances are — no matter how wondrous or horrid your circumstances are from your human perspective — the potential for joy, bliss, ecstasy is always there. In fact, that potential has never been greater in all of human history than it is today.

But you won’t find joy unless you first believe what we just said. And, second, unless you look for it.

The best way to look for it, and to find it, is to have fun with wherever you are in your life, wherever you are on your path. Where you are now is simply a step on the way to where you want to be — nothing more, nothing less.

Fun is the key to your salvation. Not that you need saving, except from your own illusions.

John’s friend Allen knew how to have fun. And he knew how to make every day, every moment of every day, a joyous celebration of his physical life. A physical life he knew would end shortly after he and John met.

But Allen had no regrets, no fear of death, no fear of the end of his physical existence. He knew how to have fun. He knew how to squeeze the “juices of joy” from every present moment. Fun was Allen’s salvation.

And so too is fun your salvation from a world which has forgotten what life is truly all about.

And what is life truly all about? In one word — joy!

Learning how to stay composed under pressure is key to performing your best in any situation. Whether it’s an important match or a business meeting, how you cope with pressure is one way you separate yourself from the pack.
Do you crumble under the pressure of big games, interviews, or important meetings and does your performance suffer? Learning how to stay composed under pressure is key to performing your best in any situation. Whether it’s an important match or a business meeting, how you cope with pressure is one way you separate yourself from the pack. Some people thrive under the pressure because they go deeper in “the zone” while others get distracted and have a meltdown. It’s how you interpret and deal with the pressure that helps you succeed.

Why is it that some people fold under pressure whereas others thrive on it? It depends on your interpretation of pressureas a challenge or a threat. You must understand pressure comes from external sourcesthe big game, other’s expectations, or your own expectations to perform well. You can view pressure situations in two ways: as a challenge that instills motivation or as a threat that instills anxiety. In this article, I present a few techniques for staying composed when you start to feel the heat.

Slow Down Anxiety speeds up your behavior on the court or field. You may walk faster rush your plays, or speed up the pace of play. When you feel tense, make an effort to slow down. Don’t hurry your warm-up. Take your time between each play, pitch, or shot. Be more deliberate without overanalyzing the situation.

Breathe Deeply Deep breathing is an excellent technique to reduce muscular tension and focus on something positive. Use abdominal breathing (breathe deeply through your abdominal cavity or stomach) to reduce tension. Once mastered, you should learn to relax with just a couple deep breaths. You can practice this at any timein the car, on the course, or in a meeting.

Be Your Own Best Coach Anxiety increases when your self-talk is negative and self-defeating. An example of negative self-talk is, “I’m a choker, I can never perform well when I need to”, which increases anxiety and decreases self-confidence. Notice when your self-talk becomes negative and learn to switch your inner voice to positive self-talk. You are your own best coach, so give yourself some words of encouragement.

Change Your Focus Anxiety or feelings or threat make you focus internally on your pounding heart, rapid breathing, and sweaty palms, which further increases anxiety. This internal focus is not a good type of focus for execution. Great execution flows from being focused externally on the environment and reacting to the situation. Shift your attention externally to what’s in front of you. Focus on the process of execution instead of the fear of failing.

Use it to Your Advantage The excitement (or fear) you experience when under pressure can help you if you interpret it as a friend. An increase in adrenaline that accompanies excitement (or fear) can give you an extra boost of energy to concentrate better and perform well. Focusing on how uncomfortable you feel only accelerates your anxiety. Learn to “feel the fear and do it any ways” by viewing your tension as a sign that you are ready and focused!

Before I started meditating several years ago with CDs using audio technologies, I estimate I hadn’t recalled much more than tiny snippets of a dream in, gosh, at least ten years and probably many more than that.

One of the things I liked immediately when I began using meditation CDs was that I started sleeping as soundly as a puddle of snoozing cat and dreaming vividly and often. For the first time in years I could clearly recall in the mornings my imaginings of the nights before.

Well, right after I started using meditation CDs, I dreamed that I was in the atrium of a large bank-like building, the front of which had huge plate glass windows. Granite columns rose from the polished floor to the top of the atrium, some four stories above my head.

I was walking through this atrium, minding my own business, when a man suddenly ran past, shouting, “The storm’s coming, the storm’s coming. It’s headed right for us!”

He evaporated from my sight as only dream people can do.

I walked toward the plate glass windows, looked outside, and, sure enough, a terrible storm was headed right for the building, a perfect storm with tornadoes, hurricane force winds, lightning, and driving rain.

I started to run as fast as I could toward the interior of the building, but then a voice screamed, “We’re all going to die!”

I looked back and, yes, the tornado’s winds were driving uprooted trees and debris straight toward the plate glass windows.

I could feel myself panicking, sweating, shaking with fear, going zero at the bone.

I collapsed to the smooth, polished floor, worrying furiously about what I could do to protect myself. For lack of anything better, I crawled to one of the granite columns and then wrapped my arms around it even though I knew the force of the terrible winds would laugh at my feeble hold on safety and easily toss me about like an egg shell.

My eyes squeezed shut to avoid the glass fragments and flesh-piercing slivers that would be headed my way any second now.

I felt fear flooding through my veins.

My heart pounded as I clutched onto that column for dear life.

Suddenly, for no conscious reason in that dream, I calmly took a deep breath, opened my eyes, totally accepted the storm, and then watched in calm fascination as glass and trees and street signs and driving rain and other storm stuff flew past me, leaving me untouched, calm, relaxed, and utterly at peace.

Seconds later, I woke up, happy, smiling, almost in tears because of the wonderful experience of completely letting go.

For the first time since 1980, when something similar happened to me, I felt completely at one with everything in the world — the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the violent and the peaceful.

It’s been many years now since I had that dream experience, but I still reflect on it several times a week to remind myself of the way I’m prone to attach to things I really don’t have to attach to and fear things I really don’t have to fear.

As a result of what I experienced while clutching the granite column in my dream, I’ve become a better witness of what I say and do — an observer who can now better embrace the still calm around which the storms of life swirl, bluster, and blow.

A working understanding of temperament styles (personality types) will have a profound impact on the way you perceive yourself and will greatly enhance all of your relationships. If you are a salesperson, this information will significantly increase your sales effectiveness by enabling you to build trust and rapport quickly with your prospects and customers. Business owners and managers find this knowledge invaluable. It can improve the way you supervise your employees and allow you to recruit more effectively. As a parent, it can dramatically improve the way you relate to your children. If you are single, it can provide you insight into selecting a compatible mate.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, has been credited with originating the basic theory of temperament styles twenty-four hundred years ago. Hippocrates believed that we are born with a combination of four genetic influences that he called humors; Choleric (Worker), Sanguine (Talker), Phlegmatic (Watcher), and Melancholy (Thinker). He observed that these four styles have a direct influence on our physiology, character traits and outlook on life. In fact, the word temperament which is commonly used to describe personality types is a Latin term which means, “a mixing in due portion.” While we are each born with a primary temperament, our personality is comprised of all four styles. My temperament training system gives you the tools and knowledge to recognize a person’s primary temperament style through observation. Each primary temperament style exhibits a body language preference and has distinctive physical features and characteristics that are neither gender, race, nor age specific. This is a significant breakthrough in the study of temperament understanding because it is a practical system that can be used with everyone you meet. My temperament-training program allows you to put this information to use in your day-to-day encounters from the boardroom to the kitchen table. This article showcases the Choleric/Worker temperament style.

The Worker temperament style is the D, or Driver, in the D.I.S.C temperament profiling system. The Worker is extroverted and aggressive by nature. They are natural born leaders that can make decisions. They are “results oriented” and have a “bottom line” approach to life. This style is the classic “Workaholic or Type A” personality. They are driven to succeed! The Worker temperament style will overcome opposition to accomplish results. When assigning them a task, do not tell them how to do something, instead give them the project and the results you expect – then turn them loose! The Worker enjoys figuring out the fastest way to get the expected results accomplished.

Workers want to be in charge, they seek power and control. They often appear to others as pushy and insensitive. The Worker’s motto is, “If I wanted your opinion, I would have given it to you.” Workers are risk takers and pride themselves on making quick decisions. Under pressure they will work harder and may lose their temper. When they get angry, their pattern is to blow up like a volcano and then get over their anger quickly. They dislike small talk. When the Worker is around an expressive Talker, they tend to view them as “all talk and no action” or as they say in Texas, “big hat and no cattle!” Workers are impatient and extremely time sensitive. Legendary football coach Vince Lombardy displayed classic Worker traits and was known for his time sensitivity. Coach Lombardy had a personal habit of setting his watch fifteen minutes early. When Lombardy scheduled a meeting, any player or assistant coach that wasn’t ready to go fifteen minutes early was considered late for that meeting!

Physically, Workers are large, powerful people with broad shoulders. When you think of a Worker, think of people like, John Wayne, Pete Rose, Bea Arthur, Jim Brown, Joseph Stalin, Bobby Knight, O.J. Simpson, George C. Scott, George S. Patton, Janet Reno, Vince Lombardy, Mean Joe Green and Mike Tyson.

Worker’s Positive Traits

Confident – Self-reliant – Decisive – Determined – Independent – Practical

Worker’s Negative Traits

Domineering – Aggressive – Insensitive – Impatient – Controlling – Demanding

Worker Behaviors

1. Appears confident and in control.
2. Acts first and thinks later.
3. Ignores small talk.
4. May become angry in traffic or other tie-ups.
5. Respects high achievers.
6. Always plays to win.
7. Believes that “The ends justify the means.”

How Workers Can Improve

1. Go out of your way to be friendly.
2. Try not to dominate and control.
3. Share power by delegating responsibilities.
4. Don’t shout when you feel angry.
5. Enjoy people, not just work.
6. Value kindness and gentleness.
Give credit where credit is due.

Microsoft Great Plains has multiple reporting options: Report Writer, Crystal Reports, SQL Server Reporting services, but the most popular tool for financial reporting is still (and remains) FRx.

Microsoft Great Plains has multiple reporting options: Report Writer, Crystal Reports, SQL Server Reporting services, but the most popular tool for financial reporting is still (and remains) FRx. If you are Controller – you probably use FRx reports on the weekly basis and have a need in advanced options. FRx was available for all the major Great Plains versions, MS SQL Server, MSDE, Ctree, Pervasive SQL/Btrieve database platforms. In this small article we would like to give you highlights on FRx reporting.

• Cash Flow. By one reason or another we find customers who are complaining about their current Microsoft Business Solutions partner – more specifically that consultants are not capable to design Cash Flow report . They easily design P&L, Balance Sheet, but not Cash Flow. We would like to give you our opinion that Cash Flow just needs good understanding of P&L and Balance Sheet accruals and in FRx you can create cash flow from P&L with adjustments on non-cash accruals from BS – this is well described in Accounting textbooks as Cash Flow indirect method.


• Excel. This is very typical problem. When business is small or midsize – and it owns several legal entities/companies – the small entities might have no accounting application, but Excel tables (or QuickBooks that exports to Excel). In this situation you should consider building consolidated reports in FRx, pulling info from Multiple Great Plains companies and Excel. You should use link menu item for the Column in Row Format and have it as GL+Worksheet (Excel or Lotus 1-2-3) or External Worksheet. GL+Worksheet is the easiest – you specify your Excel file and worksheet in this form [C:MyExcel.XSL]P&L in Worksheet File Name and then you should understand the syntax in the Row layout – such identifiers as CPO (Column Period Offset) or RPO (Row Period Offset). These identifiers help you when you have either column with your fiscal periods (say twelve months) or row and want to adjust your report to the period automatically – click on Report Date – you will see Base Period – this base Period should be the offset amount – horizontal (CPO) or vertical (RPO)


• Consolidation. This topic is usually self explanatory, however you should know the classic accounting consolidation principles – such as inter companies consolidation accounts (exclude them from your consolidated report).


• Technical Issues/Service Packs. Well – FRx has to deal with multiple accounting applications and this leads to reasonably high number of bugs in its releases. Good example is – in initial FRx 6.5 when you use (C=D10+D12)/CPO – you get 0 or blank instead or YDT or Current summary. As a persistent GP support specialist for your company you should login into customer source and check for the latest FRx service pack and issues fixed in this patch

I think we need to break Chinese medicine’s wisdom down into bite-sized, practical pieces. Though I think they are rather cliché and simplistic, the popular magazine style, “5 Tips to Make Your Life Perfect in 5 Minutes Without Lifting a Finger!” piques the curiosity, and gets in our heads. If we can pick up one useful thing, we’ve learned and can live better. On the other hand, it does no good to overwhelm people with something they can’t digest or use.

Nine Ways to Nurture Your Emotional Well Being

This list is based on Chinese medicine advice for the emotions through the centuries. The how-to’s and benefits are mostly my ideas. The daily blueprint comes from the book, “The Power of Focus”. You can find other self-examination and spiritual tools in a wide range of books.

1. Be Grateful: Recognize what you’ve achieved, and enjoy it. Once you’ve reached a goal, celebrate. Otherwise you get stuck in the ‘never enough’ trap.

How: Make a weekly list of the things in your life for which you are grateful. Review both new and perpetual reasons for gratitude.

Benefit: You can’t be grateful and hateful at the same time, so the more grateful you are, the happier you’ll be.

2. Choose Achievable Goals: Avoid overly ambitious goals, because foiled plans lead to frustration, with-drawal, and depression.

How: Review your plans and dreams, and then break them down into subtasks you can definitely finish (this is called a critical path). Set realistic dates for each task. If you run into an impasse, then reassess your path, or your goal.

Benefit: You’ll achieve more, and feel more capable and successful.

3. Live Moderately: Work and live moderately. Balance means not overworking and not being lazy.

How: Make a blueprint for each day that allocates specific times for action, learning, exercise, review, relaxation, and family. See the book, The Power of Focus.

Benefit: Stay well and avoid the diseases that come from overwork. Feel fulfilled and avoid guilt, which drains your energy. Sharpen your saw. Improve your effectiveness and understanding. Feel satis-fied you’re available to loved ones.

4. Be Regular: Keep a consistent routine in work, meals, exercise, and rest. Regularity is easier on your nervous system, so your body will know what to expect.

How: Use the daily blueprint tool from #3.

Benefit: You experience less stress and have more vitality.

5. Eat and Sleep Sensibly: Quality sleep and a normal appetite are the best signs of health, and everything else depends on them. If you want to get or stay well, take care of these two aspects of your health.

How: See the healthful eating tips in chapter 33 and the sleep tips in chapter 56.

Benefit: Natural, deep sleep renews and refreshes your mind and heals your body. Proper eating and digestion optimize your immune system and prev-ent sickness.

6. Avoid Worry and Overthinking. It taxes your mind and your digestion. It’s usually not productive anyway. You may know that but be unable to stop.

How: Some people tend to worry. They need simpler, unprocessed foods, and to avoid simple sugars, alcohol and coffee. Physical digestion affects your mind’s ability to digest worries and possibilities. Get some moderate exercise daily to move your qi.

Benefit: Worry-free living! More energy, positivity, and peace of mind.

7. Strive to Be Openhearted, Open-Minded, and Content. When we’re closed down or discontent, we become inflexible, intolerant, and insufferable. We experience more stress. Stress takes its toll, and we get sick.

How: List people, institutions, and ideas you resent or fear. Admit your selfishness, dishonesty, and fear, at least to yourself! Find Someone bigger than yourself to trust in. Pray and meditate. Read spiritual books and write about how they relate to your life. Think outside of the box. “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.” Do the thing you are afraid of. Reach out to people no one wants. Be grateful and accept life as it is.

Benefit: Openheartedness is freedom and real love. Open-mindedness is freedom and the quickest way to truth. Contentedness is what everyone truly seeks.

8. Form Social Bonds to Sustain You in Times of Trouble. If you give a baby physical nourishment but not physical affection, it can die! Human beings are meant to live in communities. We need one another. Don’t spend all your time absorbed in your problems and plans.

How: Meet people in networking groups, support groups, adult education classes, Toastmasters, Rot-ary clubs, church, etc.

Benefit: Other people strengthen and support us, listen to our problems, make helpful suggestions, point us in the right direction, and help us get where we need to go. The right people are your best allies and advocates for a positive and stable future, and thus are an essential part of getting and staying well. Plus, a good social life provides opportunities for the next suggestion…

9. Help Other People! Invest yourself in the lives of others.

How: List specific people you can help in your plans and goals, and in your daily blueprint. Think about what these people need, and how you can help them get it. It may seem counterintuitive and perhaps impossible when faced with real worries and problems, but if you help someone else, you’ll find it’s worth it. Remember, sometimes helping means saying no. Agape (perfect love) gives people what they need regardless of what they want.

Benefit: You’ll end up feeling better, and more positive. In that better frame of mind, you’ll plan and live your life more effectively.

Did you get the MP3 players that you wanted for the holidays? Are you searching for a new model? There are hundreds of them on the market ranging from the highly loved IPods to the $20 discount department store models. Which do you choose and what will they offer you? With so many options out there, it is easy to see just what you need in a few tips. Here are some to help you to purchase the best MP3 players from now on.

• What storage do you need or want? The size of the memory on the MP3 player has a lot to do with how many songs you plan to download to it. The more memory, the more songs you’ll have. You’ll need to choose between the flash memory players (which are able to offer a few hours of music), expandable memory players (which you can add more memory to later on) and hard drive players (for a huge amount of file storage.)

• What features are a must have? For each person there is a different need in features. Some want all of them while others just want the basics. Some features to consider include color screens with image display so that you can view photos, video capability which allows you to see movies and TV shows on your MP3 players, sports features that will do such things as monitor your running, entertainment features that will let you play games on your player as well. Still others will remind you when you need to do things, allow you to tune into the radio and others will allow you to use voice recording features too.

• Now, let’s look at accessories. There are many accessories you can pack onto your MP3 players. They can be such things as music services where you can purchase and download your songs from or cables that allow you to transfer files faster and easier. You can also check out headphones that are just the right fit. You can choose a radio transmitter which allows you to play your music through the radio in your car, cassette adapters, docks, stereo connector…there are many options to choose from.

So, now that you know what to look for in the MP3 players that you can purchase you’ll just need to make up your mind. That may actually be the hard part.
