Which city and country are you writing from? Toronto Comments: I couldn't agree more with today's Minute. My little business has doubled in size in the last month (we went from 2 offices to 4 offices!) and we're on our way to 100 offices, but it has been so much more difficult than I expected. In starting a new business you need good people, financing, a sound idea, and a positive attitude, but determination and the refusal to give up are by far the most important attributes for success as an entrepreneur. - Warren
Which city and country are you writing from? Inland Empire, CA Comments: RE: Listening to Your Inner Voice (The nice one, not the critical nagging voice) I think it's because we are all too busy racing around, or dwelling in our mental clutter that we can't even hear that voice. Some of us are so unfamiliar to it that it seems strange and bizzare and we brush it off too quickly. I have learned that I need my daily lunch walks around the lake to remember things, center myself, relax, and give the voice some time to talk to me. When I miss several of those walks because I get too busy, I start forgetting my keys, I get cranky, I gain weight, and I don't feel centered and lose sight of my goals. I started trusting the inner voice about a year ago. Its so subtle that I realized why it was so easy to overlook before. I still forget stuff but the difference is that I feel the voice and realize I am without something and I can't remember what it is but I walk back to my previous location and there it is my gym towel, or keys spilled on the floor, screaming at me to pick it up when I didn't even realize I didn't have it. I was more attuned in high school then lost it or let go of it when I had "difficulities" in life.

Which city and country are you writing from? London, Ontario, Canada Comments: I agree wholeheartedly on the inner voice and since a situation a few years ago have made sure I listen to it. We were up at our daughters in the Muskota's and had taken our other daughter and son-in-law with us. They went out to fish. I started getting this uneasy feeling and asked my daughter to go out and check on them. She said 'their fine, Mom. I'm going to town, want to come'. I went and when we got back found out that our daughter and son-in-law had been in the water for over 3 hrs trying to get to shore. Their boat had tipped in the choppy water. Son-in-law went along the shore the next morning picking up their fishing gear that had drifted ashore. A lot went to the bottom. Our daughter said 'sorry Mom, will listen to you from now on'.
Which city and country are you writing from? Delhi, india Comments: Subject: What is success? Dear Bruno, Holding together brings success. All successful teams have a shared vision and a leader. Whole-hearted commitment is required for team success.
Which city and country are you writing from? Delhi, India Comments: Subject: Listen to your inner voice Dear Bruno, You are right & it is true, 'Even if it speaks to us softly and faintly, we should always listen to our inner voice.' Comments: Much of our misfortune comes from unexpected events for which we are ill prepared. When leadership is in the hands of the broad-minded, supreme good fortune results.
Which city and country are you writing from? toronto Comments: Bruno, most of us hear the voices from within our soul and mind, we ignore them because we dont have the courage and confidence to explore them. I do believe to keep peace within the home is the reason, it would be threatening to a partner to follow our own dreams. Single people should listen and heed.

Which city and country are you writing from? Australia Comments: Bruno's commentary: If someone who reads this post can be of assistance to Kerryn, you can reach her through her email address that is in the post. I really agree with climbing mountains and constantly applying oneself. My problem is I a depressive illness and a cyclathymic personality (a bit kind of like Bi-Polar). For the most part my health professionally is able to give some stability to the illness/condition. I have a very small business the potential and demand for services is greater than I have the confidence to take on because of 'out of the blue' times of not being able to function. Sometimes after an 'episode' I am physically and mentally left in a place where I have to completely rebuild myself. Sometimes it is just not possible to start climbing again because of the exhaustion and lack of ability to function. Despite my keenness to get going and start walking up the mountain again...but sometimes it's like trying to climb with paralyzed legs. Has anyone heard of any books or had any personal experience of how they have overcome or managed to operated with a mental illness with some constancy? I look forward to hearing from anyone who has personally experienced this kind of situation or read anything that has helped attain better balance. Thank you. Kerryn. caninepositive@bigblue.net.au

Which city and country are you writing from? San Antonio, TX, USA Comments: Bruno, Your current email came in the nick of time. I have to deal with a certain situation involving a nephew and I am dreading the outcome because he does not take constructive criticism or common sense advice easily. I will apply your sandwich-technique and hopefully get positive results. Thank you for all your helpful advice.
Which city and country are you writing from? Vancouver, BC. Comments: I recently had to apply your sandwich method to a friend but it did not go as well as your suggestion...it has caused serious waves but then again I sometimes have to think that the shock value method works too. My friend is involved with a married person. If I know this person as well as I think I do, they will come to their senses and get out before they cause more hurt than necessary. I have sent my friend an email with your recent message and hopefully they will see that through all the drama and anger they know that I care about them.

Which city and country are you writing from? Granger, IN USA Comments: Bruno-Your sandwich method of giving criticism is one I use to write to people and companies regarding products or services with which I am not satisfied. I also used this method in Toastmasters International meetings when it came to evaluating the performance of a speaker. Very effective method of delivering the message. As the song writer says-"Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down" and the proverb "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." - Sally

Which city and country are you writing from? Wetzikon, Switzerland Comments: Something very crucial about the anger mechanism. The point is, that anger is always a secondary feeling, with the function to cover a much more powerful and frightful feeling: powerlessness, helplessness. Every time we encounter a sudden, surprising situation, which we don't know how to handle we feel powerless, helpless, just like loosing the ground under our feet. The feeling and fear to lose control over the world and ourselves is so powerful and threatening, that we just can't bear it. So we cover it and push it away with the reaction of anger to the situation or person that makes us feel so powerless and helpless. We experience such situations everyday, with our spouse or partner, our children, our co-workers, our boss, our neighbors etc. etc. When we take a little time to ask us after the situation has gone or even better in that situation, what is really making us angry, we will recognize this short moment of powerlessness and helplessness, that is immediately pushed away by anger. So when we realize, what really has made us angry, then we can change it, be either avoiding such situations or telling ourselves, that the one who seems to make us angry, isn't responsible for our feeling of powerfulness and helplessness. This comes from somewhere else. By working through our biography, we will find possible sources.
