        What are my fears and payoffs?
        - Fear of confrontation - I can't handle confrontation - why not? What is my payoff?
        1. Wanting to 'be nice' all the time (regardless of how the other person behaves) is a fast-track route to repressed bitterness, and sends clear messages to th

        From Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway - page 23

        It can be seen that the secret in handling fear is to move yourself from a position of pain to a position of power. The fact that you have the fear then becomes irrelevant.

        Let’s talk about the word “power.” Some people say th

      • Black Friday!
        11/29/13
        Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. This was my first Thanksgiving alone in many years. I went into NYC and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. It was cold but fun. R&E and Diane invited me for dinner but I needed to be my own person and not rely on others or feel sorry for myse

      • Day 4 of CM trading
        11/21/13
        The ES is not providing many tradable patterns. Austin is thinking he may not trade through the end of the year! I will use that time to sim trade to work on minimizing losses.

      • Priorities change!
        11/09/13
        Only six days since the last entry asking about my priorities and change has already happened! The major priorities stay pretty much the same. I have made good progress on the Property Settlement Agreement activities. Done nothing on the oil situation, made good progress on de-cluttering and simplif

      • What are my priorities?
        11/03/13
        It's been a while. I went to the UK for a vacation after the last entry and had a wonderful time with college friends some I hadn't seen in 30 years! I returned to find that 11 people had been laid off. The combination of the good vacation and Mindray's disregard for it's employe
