Road Signs For Success – June 25, 2008

By Sondra Whitt We probably all have people in our lives that we’d like to help — either because we love them or, if we don’t even know them, just because we have a sense of wanting to help alleviate suffering in another human being. I learned a long time ago that I can’t help anyone who doesn’t want it. No matter how self-destructive their behavior, people have to choose to face the truth about themselves, choose to seek the help they need and then choose to do the hard work of change.

Road Signs for Success – June 18, 2008

By Gerald Daniels Charlie’s determination at work is evident to all who know him. His ability to complete most any work- related task in a professional and timely manner is a given. You can count on him to do what he agrees to do, and he is pleasant to be around.

Road Signs for Success – June 4, 2008

By Paula Lau As Father’s Day approaches I was reminded of one of my favorite family stories. My father, Bill, was assembling a bicycle for my sister, Elizabeth, when she was around eight or nine years old. It was shortly after Christmas and as he sweated, grunted and tried to figure out the almost impossible directions his frustration would build to a climax at which point he would swear and throw the wrench across the room.
