When Josh’s boss challenges the young worker to take two weeks off to assess his attitude and intentions, Josh heads to the country. There, a farmer hands him a seed and tells him that when he discovers the right place to plant the seed his purpose will be revealed to him. This tale takes readers on a quest to explore their own passion, purpose, and happiness in life and work. The themes presented are most appropriate for graduates just embarking on their path. Here, then, are nine such lessons presented in the story, in the words of Gordon: 1. Focus on Get to i...

In celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.: I have a dream that one day I won’t hold my breath every time I tell a person that I suffer from bipolar disorder, that I won’t feel shameful in confessing my mental illness. I have a dream that people won’t feel the need to applaud me for my courage on writing and speaking publicly about my disease, because the diagnosis of depression and bipolar disorder would be understood no differently than that of diabetes, arthritis, or dementia. I have a dream that the research into genetics of mood disorders will continue to pinpoint specific genes that may predispose individuals and families to depression and bipolar disord...

I don’t think I can do any better than the children of mine who were born around Christmas. Three of the four came within one month of Christmas day. One came on December 23rd. What wonderful presents! Going farther back, I recall sitting by the Christmas tree at my childhood home, or the homes of my grandparents. I found toy soldiers, toy horses, Matchbox cars, pocket knives and many other little-boy wonders. I remember the beautiful wooden stock and golden trigger of my first shotgun, and how it pulled me irresistably into a sense of impending manhood to know that my father and mother trusted me enough to give such a gift. I have been thrilled to ...

Worrying about what your co-workers think of you and how well you fit in can be just as stressful, and it can even impact job performance and success at work. Not sure where you fit into the office? Here are five typical “office personalities,” and how you can avoid becoming “that girl”: 1. The Bad Dresser: It’s no revelation that what you wear says a lot about you, so if you’re that person who never seems to dress appropriately in the office, you probably don’t fit the company culture that well, either. Being too casual or too sloppy (or in some cases, overdressed) sets you apart from y...

You can click here to read the original post. Just when I think our world has moved a baby step in the right direction regarding our understanding of mental illness, I get another blow that tells me otherwise. For example, I awhile back I quoted an intelligent woman who wrote an article in a popular women’s magazine about dating a bipolar guy when she was bipolar herself. She recently discovered that she had jeopardized a job prospect because the article came up –as well as all those who referenced it, like Beyond Blue — when you Googled her name. So she requested everyone who picked up that article to go back and change her real name to a pseudony...

Some are gossips, others are slackers. And a few are just plain bitches. But getting along in the workplace is essential to your productivity and happiness. If you’re pissed off in your cube, you won’t just be bummed out from 9 to 5, you’ll likely carry that stress and negativity home with you. Image: istockphoto If you find yourself repeatedly having problems with a specific co-worker, do what you can to resolve the issues in an adult manner. If the person is just being annoying, learn to tune them out and let their behavior roll off your back. If it’s something more serious that’s affecting your work, take action. After hours, politely address your co-worker and let them know what’s on your mind. H...

She attended a musical performance by a local high school group, then had dinner at her assigned table, and finally - the part that really stunned me - "visited with her neighbor."In the 50-plus years of our relationship, I have never known my mother to "visit with her neighbor." When I was growing up, our next-door neighbor, Mrs. G., occasionally invited Mom over for coffee during the day, but she always declined. Or Mrs. G. would spot Mom watering plants in the back yard and try to engage her in small talk. Later, Mom would click her tongue and complain to us, "Doesn't she have work to do?" Likewise, women she knew from volunteering at my school's cafeteria tried to coax her out for...
