Those Who Can, Reason; Those Who Can’t, Insult

Posted on March 26, 2008 by D3 Support

Those who have arguments provide facts, along with conclusions. Those who have none, provide insults. Matching insults with insults doesn’t prove you grasp the truth. It doesn’t do justice to the truth. It only shows you have no arguments, either. … Continue reading →

Why Self-Reflection Matters

Posted on March 25, 2008 by D3 Support

Awareness makes honesty possible. Self-honesty is critical. You will not tell the truth to others unless you’re in the habit of telling the truth to yourself. Yet to be honest about the truth, you must be aware of the truth. … Continue reading →

Permit Your Child to Have a Mind

Posted on March 22, 2008 by D3 Support

Children cannot always be reasoned with, it’s true. But this is no excuse for a parent to take a shortcut and refuse to apply reason with a child. With a fellow adult, you would give your reasons in an attempt … Continue reading →

A Friend Indeed

Posted on March 10, 2008 by D3 Support

A friend who asks how you’re doing, instead of talking only about himself, is a friend with the mental well-being to think about something other than himself. Don’t applaud him for being selfless. Instead, applaud him for being well put … Continue reading →

Manners, Please

Posted on March 4, 2008 by D3 Support

Manners are a product of civilization.   Widespread rudeness is the result of a civilization in decline. A person should be polite, although not for the sake of others. Living for the sake of strangers leads, quite appropriately, to resentment … Continue reading →

Independence

Posted on March 3, 2008 by D3 Support

Committed to Growth

Posted on March 2, 2008 by D3 Support

The Error of Regrets

Posted on February 24, 2008 by D3 Support

People who dwell on regrets are making the error of granting the past too much importance. The reason I say “too much importance” is because nothing about the past can be changed by anyone. It’s self-evidently done, and over, by … Continue reading →

It’s Not Working!

Posted on February 14, 2008 by D3 Support

The biggest excuse I hear from people about not holding loved ones responsible for their actions is, “It’s not working.” For example: “My twenty-five year old son moved back in. He stays at home and doesn’t even seek out a … Continue reading →

How You Love

Posted on January 17, 2008 by D3 Support

Do you love someone for what he has…or for who he IS? Either motive is all right. But there is a difference between the two. And terms should be clear. Honesty works best, because then you’re not faced with a … Continue reading →

The Self-Esteem Equation

Posted on January 16, 2008 by D3 Support

The self-esteem equation, for a healthy person, is as follows: “I am worthwhile. I am somebody. I have skills and I know what they are. If I diligently work at these skills, I WILL produce something of worth; something that … Continue reading →
