Do you blame others for your mistakes?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Remember when you were a kid and you did something wrong and blamed someone else? We did whatever we could to pass the blame over to our brother, sister or friend, even though we knew what we did was wrong. Why do we continue to do that as adults and especially as drivers? What are…

Puddles, pedestrians and drivers…oh my!

Sometimes we’re torn between doing the proper thing and letting things go. Sometimes our good intentions get in the way of safety. We either do the right thing, but it isn’t the safest thing, and sometimes it’s the opposite. Do you ever have these same feelings as well? Our winter brought us piles of snow,…

Are you a believer?

I believe that we all have beliefs. Do you believe me? When we were kids we believed in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and perhaps even the tooth fairy. As time went on we stopped believing in those things and we started to believe in other things. We will believe in our own religion, our…

Can you learn by your mistakes?

There’s an old saying that I know we’ve all heard before. Actually, I’m pretty sure there’s more than one old saying, but this one is a good one. I’m referring to “I learn by my mistakes”. I’ve learned many things by my mistakes. More importantly, I’ve learned what not to do many times over. That’s…

Life is always full of challenges; we all know that. It’s a regular challenge to raise our kids, to sometimes do our jobs and to keep your household chores up to date. Some people have a better handle on doing these things successfully than other people do. They seem to have self-control when it comes…

Traffic signs aren’t all made of metal

As a sports fan you often hear how the athletes will anticipate what the other players may do before they do it. They can see the signs of the play based on the actions of the other players and respond early. It’s a good skill to have as an athlete, but also a good skill…

Sometimes it’s better to give than take

Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We’ve all learned as kids to share things and work together with others. For those who play team sports, you’ve learned the same things from your coaches. Quite often, we can benefit by working together as opposed to working as individuals. The same can be said while driving. But, how can you work together with…

Did you know….
