I recommend becoming a Master of POSITIVE THINKING. It requires 3 specific skills.

You must see yourself saying

First: "I Can, I Will, and I Did,"

Second: Visualize the beginning of an ambition and the END of the goal, and

Third: To recognize and have 6 daily goals each day.

Teach others the same. The first person to correct is yourself. I would not allow myself to negatively approach another and so the goal became: "If you catch me saying any negative remark, I will change and do better."

It was an excellent decision to teach positive thinking, but my next endeavors in the classroom were good listening and confrontational skills. I have also written other books: "The Tough and Tender Listener" and "The Art of Friendly Confrontation" and they are available through me. These are the basic life skills many are missing.

My credentials include a Masters in Family Life Education from Michigan State University and a Masters in Guidance and Counseling from Eastern Michigan University.

As a counselor and friend I positively affected the lives of thousands of young people. Scores of letters, visits, phone calls and cards validate the results of my caring for them.
