Tip #24: "Common Sense Died!"
Recently someone emailed me a copy of an article that was printed in the London Times.
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned butoverbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; his son, Reason. His is survived by his four step brothers; I Know My RightsI Want It NowSomeone Else Is to BlameI'm a Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
After I read the article, I was amazed at the accuracy and truly grateful for the common sense that has been passed on to me, not only by my mom and other family members, but friends and co-workers as well. I think we should all reconsider the value of using good common sense on an every day basis and make sure that it stays an important part of our life.
I remember an article being written in a Chicago newspaper about my previous employer Michael Krasny(The Founder of CDW). He personally hired me to be in sales for the then $200 Million organization that today stands over $6.5 Billion. The title of the article was "common sense, uncommon success." The article spoke about how well Michael treated his employees by rewarding them well for their efforts. I can attest to that. Michael is a generous man that treated his employees very well. Common sense right? Oh, how I wish common sense was common. Unfortunately, common sense is not common is it?
I challenge us to do our best to revive common sense from the dead. It is well worth it don't you think?

Tip #23 "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation..."
Tip #23"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden(The greatest college basketball coach of all time)
I have noticed that all too many people are concerned with how they look much more than they are concerned about who they really are. I personally want to strive to be of good character rather than acting like I am of good character. Yes, it takes a lot more work and sacrifice. But, I sleep well at night knowing that I strive to be of good character and not the appearance of good character.
I wrote about this before. But, I feel that it is time to chat about it again during this election year. Am I going to plug a candidate? Yeah. I will. It will probably come as a surprise to many of you.
After much study, listening, and prayer I have concluded that only one man that is running for President actually has the character to back up his reputation. This man is RON PAUL. The other two candidates cannot hold a candle to his character. Please do the research for yourself on Ron Paul. I am hopeful that you will conclude that he is the right man for the job.
If enough people spread this word it is possible for a man of deep convictions and more importantly good character to be elected in November. This is the first time that I have not voted for a Republican candidate. I cannot bring myself to vote for a man of such poor character such as John McCain. Barack Obama is out of the question because his character(supporting baby murders and big government/high taxes and so on) is even worse than John McCain's.
In summary, let's vote for a man of strong character such as Ron Paul and Abraham Lincoln(arguably the greatest president of all time).

Tip #22 Remember "The Wooden Bowl"
The Wooden Bowl I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now. A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.' So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. ' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Tip #21 "Image or Imago Dei?"
During this time of political ramp up I thought it would be appropriate to duplicate a blog post that my brilliant Pastor friend wrote. I hope you enjoy it...
Image or Imago Dei?
Just slightly less chaotic than the running of the bulls in Pamplona is the positioning and jostling of the early wannabes for President. The familiar, the infamous and the fabulous are politely elbowing each other for the perception of front runner. In Pamplona, some of humanity runs in front of the bulls for the thrill of the race and avoiding being trampled while most of us watch the amazing display of bravery or insanity – take your pick – unable to look away.Most of us are just trying to get through the race of life without being trampled aware that a herd of bulls will flatten is if we stumble. The early wannabes are strong bulls charging ahead, knowing that if they stumble, their fellow bulls will without hesitation make a carpet out of their hide on the way to victory. Right now the race is not to the swift, the strong or those of substance but rather to those whose image doesn’t take a severe tumble.I read a lot— maybe too much—but I honestly don't know much of substance about some the names that have been recently tossed into the media frenzy. Most of us, if we are honest, take a quick glance at the published image of the wannabe and decide in less than 2 seconds if the man or woman is "presidential." What does it actually mean to be presidential in image? Ask the next adult you bump into to define in a few sentences what it means to be presidential and listen hard to what they say. Nixon learned the hard way, in his TV debate against that striking young war hero from the northeast, that you can win the debate in words and logic, but lose the image race. The populace of our Pamplona cheer the spectacle of the running bulls. But who knows what the bulls are actually made of?A recent discourse in a significant Midwest rag was largely a long lament by the professional bull handlers about how two of their top bulls have "image problems" that are effecting their eligibility. Sadly missing was what should be the main concern: Do the bulls have substance—or are they just, bull? Substance seems to have long ago floated away like the memory of the last Cubs World Series win.I noticed that “Nancy Reagan red” has been suddenly co-opted by a certain Senator from New York whom I have never, ever seen wear red before. Pastels were prominent for years, but apparently are now not presidential.A huge concern for the handlers of one bull was the recent widely disseminated photo of him in a swimsuit. And no, it was not because Donna Rice was bobbing in the waves nearby. In fact, there was no one else in the picture; it was just him in fairly modest trunks. A local TV "news" program took the swimsuit photo out on the street where the incredible wisdom of the common man interpreted the photo. The respondents chosen to be aired were nearly all slightly older women who commented mainly on his body fat, or lack thereof, discerning whether he was "hot" or not. My young son asked me, "Dad, what does that have to do with being President?"At this point, I have no idea which presidential bull I will endorse in November 2008. And, based on past experience, I am fairly confident the mainstream media will give me very little with which to discern the actual substance of the bull. I am going to try an experiment to test my thinking. Starting in May 2007, I am going to start counting the number and size of photos of the candidates who are in the running as they appear in People magazine. My suspicion is that whoever gets the greatest number of square inches of photo-ops in People will win. I am confident that the thoughtful, deep prose of People will be the deciding factor. I surely hope I am wrong but I have more confidence in my thesis than in the Cubs winning the world series.Lincoln wouldn't stand a chance today, nor would many of the other ugly mugs that have graced the Oval Office. Though according to some, he did grow a beard to mask his gangly face at the suggestion of a young girl. He was after all, a rather ugly man by the standards of any age. Today, beards or facial hair of any kind are verboten.Maybe "image" has been more important for longer than we realize. Yet with Lincoln, we as a nation thankfully got substance over style. His Gettysburg Cemetery dedication address was short and rather suddenly written. He was invited by the organizers as almost an afterthought. The main speaker (can you name him?) at the dedication of the Gettysburg cemetery was considered the greatest orator of his day. He spoke for more than two hours, and it was considered to be one of the great speeches in style and oratory brilliance by the reporters who covered the event. Lincoln's address was fewer than 300 words and less than two minutes in spoken length. I know which speech I memorized as a young man. History now loves Lincoln for his substance, but in his day, he was vilified. Lincoln believed, as do I, that man is not mere "image" but the imago dei, the image of God. The dignity, worth and great value of every person is not their outward image but their very substance. It is what sets us apart from all other life forms and endows us with our inalienable rights according to our country’s forefathers and the far more ancient wisdom of God. As we increasingly value image over the imago dei, we slide further into the chaos and brutality of the running of the bulls. The weak get trampled and only the strong—who look good—will survive.My time is now more than half over. The finish line is closer than the start, and I want to finish my race well. I want to run and finish the race as a man of substance not a man of style. Yes, I love my perfectly fitting Italian black leather jacket because it does look great and feels even better. But I am more concerned with the quality of my heart than the decreasing plumage on my bumpy orb.Yet I don't run for myself. I run for Him who ran the race before me. I run for those I love and I run for my community. Being a man of substance, not style, is my race. The race is not about finishing first but running well and seeing the imago dei grow in my life. Swim trunks and Nancy Reagan red is just a lot of bull.

Tip #20 "Life is found in giving our life away."
Tip #20 "Life is found in giving our life away."
All too often we get caught up in the day to day USA grind of work, family, friends, entertaining ourselves, etc. Why is it that we spend very little time helping others? Instead, we spend the majority of our time serving ourselves. This will never fulfill our souls. So, we are quite deceived aren't we? What do we do?
My favorite motivational speaker of all time says, "If you help enough other people get what they want you will always have what you want." - Zig Ziglar Ohhhhhhhhhhh, how true that is.

Instead of picking up that TV remote or surfing the Internet. Let's take one tiny 5 minute step today to serve someone else with a phone call, an email, or something that says "Hey, I am here to help you. Can I take out your garbage, clean your dishes, drive you somewhere, clean your house, watch your children, etc."
Let's no longer be deceived into thinking that the Ipod, Internet, the TV, the video games, the shopping, or anything else is more fulfilling than serving another person. The more we give our life away the more we will fulfill what our souls desire.
I have never known a giving and serving person to feel lonely for very long. Why? Because they seek to give instead of to get.

Tip #19 "We get what we give"
Tip #19 "We get what we give"
I was at the grocery store the other day and I was about to check out when a nice lady behind me gave me a $10 coupon and said "You look like you are going to go over the $250 amount". Sure enough she was right. Well, now that was nice wasn't it? She gave something to me without expecting anything in return. I love that. Don't you?
So, I finished checking out and sure enough on the back of my long grocery receipt was a $5 coupon for my next visit. I turned to this lady and said "Here you are. $5 for you."
That worked out great! She gave something from her heart and was immediately given something back. Anyone that is over 3 years old understand that in life. We will reap what we sow. Won't we?

Tip #18 "Nobody cares what you know until they know that you care."
Tip #18 "Nobody cares what you know until they know that you care."
I will never forget some advice that a dad gave me once..."A hug can solve the majority of a child's emotional angst."
Just last week our oldest daughter, youngest daughter, and our son were emotionally upset about something. I said "Would you like a hug?" "Yeaaaah". Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. They knew that I cared.
I think that a hug with a spouse, child, friend, or even a stranger goes a long long way. It shows that we care a lot more than the endless blather that I am prone to. Why do I think I am so wise? Ha. I am not.
I am guilty of sharing suggestions with people that have no desire to know what I think about their situation. They just want to know that I care. Have you ever felt that way? I feel that way more often than I care to admit. :-)
I like to help people. I think that is a good thing. But, if the people I want to help do not want help than I cannot help them nor can anyone else. So, it is good to offer. But, if it is met with a bitter response I have found it much better to just listen(though I struggle with this too). Then, these folks know I care.
Most people(including myself) would rather talk than listen. But, true listening shows that we care. When people know that we care they are usually open to hearing what we have to say. I know that the mentors in my life do not call me daily, send me multiple emails, and harrass me to no end trying to help me. They wait for me to ask them. This way, I am hungry and open to learn. They have learned to not "cast their pearls on swine". Why give a beautiful string of pearls to a pig to wear? That would be silly. Wouldn't it?
Let's agree to drop the baggage in our lives by not casting our "wisdom" on people until they know we care. This way, we are all ready for stronger relationships.
