careful, she starts her post with a tongue in cheek...
`mel goes on and on about feel good`.

nothing i hate more than that feel good crap.
pour self esteem in one ear and they have success.
the new world mantra. complete disaster.

i am totally into `do it well, do it often and kick butt
if they slack off...but smile as you do it.`

one thing i know for certain...my students were rewarded
for success...not their mouth.

just had a few days with one of my former divers...he was
in the 72 olympics...won a medal...also was the best diver
in the world for 5 years.. our high school gave him a `medal of honor`.

he said....`the reason i stand here today is because mel taught me
to work hard, in fact twice as hard as any high school diver in america,
and that what you do after you stop diving is more important than diving.`

dr. craig lincoln/ph.d./ psychology...traveling the world teaching folks
how to be a success in business. hard work, dedication to your cause
and being smart how you do it. no whining please.
