    Dr. Braccio has a fun talk With Jack Ebling, Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal, and Doug Warren, Detroit Lions Historian, on “The Drive With Jack Ebling” Radio Show on 7/14/15 as they discuss the FANTASY MSU SPORTS EQUIVALENT of Mount Rushmore. You will hear my argument on why Biggie Munn should be the fourth person on the Spartan Mount Rushmore. With a chuckle, I did mention Coach Dantonio is near the statues with a chisel in his hand as he continues his great coaching career. The following is what Jack Ebling sent me prior to our fun talk.

    Dr. John H. Braccio, don’t know if you heard yesterday’s show, but Joe and I spent all three hours selecting Michigan State’s Mount Rushmore honorees for men’s basketball, football, all other sports and coaches/administrators. Then, with 16 selections, we set out to pick the mersin escort final four faces to chisel.  We agreed on Hannah, Earvin and Izzo. But we need you to break a tie and help pick the fourth face.  The final candidates are Munn, Daugherty and the Spartans’ greatest player, George Webster.  Today, Graham, Terry and I will pick the best from Mid-Michigan, including the prep ranks.  Wednesday, Tom and I will pick the best from U-M and the Big Ten. Thursday, Rico and I will pick the top Lions, Tigers and Pistons.  And Friday, Neil and I will do the same for hockey, golf, tennis, Olympic sports, etc.  So give it some thought and be ready to defend your choice of Munn, Daugherty or Webster for the final MSU Mount Rushmore spot. Talk to you at 3:48!

    The Psychological Parental Trauma of the Death of a Child

    Dr. Braccio discusses on the “Morning Wake Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show on 6/2/15 on WILS, 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan, how brutally cruel emotionally is the death of escort bayan mersin Beau Biden for Vice President Biden.  To bury a child is a horrible tragedy out of sequence.  That he lost a daughter and also a wife in 1972 only magnifies the emotional grieving and loss. In addition to having done therapy with many persons over the decades who have experienced the loss of a child. I grew up in my home where my brother had died less than a year before I was born. My home always had his picture and bronzed shoes highly visible to see by both visitors and family. My parents believed God sent me to help them overcome their terrible loss.  His memory was cherished in a psychologically healthy manner. I believe parents can move on after the loss of a child but they never can fully get over the tragedy and psychological pain. We discuss how parents psychologically can attempt to deal with the loss of a child.

    Dr. Braccio talks on the WILS Morning Wake Up With Dave Akerly Show on 3/24/15 on 1320 a.m. in Lansing, Michigan on HOW TO GET FOCUS TO MOVE FORWARD ON YOUR FUTURE WHEN YOU AT BEST ARE CONFUSED AND AT WORST CLUELESS. In my work, it is surprising how many intelligent and well trained persons live unhappy lives because of lack of focus and resulting unsatisfactory life experiences.

    Dr. Braccio talks on the WILS Morning Wake Up With Dave Akerly Show on 3/24/15 on 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan on HOW TO GET FOCUS TO MOVE FORWARD ON YOUR FUTURE silifke eskort ilanları WHEN YOU AT BEST ARE CONFUSED AND AT WORST CLUELESS. In my work, it is surprising how many intelligent and well trained persons live unhappy lives because of lack of focus and resulting unsatisfactory life experiences.

    Lack of focus in life is arguably one of the great impediments to one’s success in life. To reach our goals in life, we need focus as we direct all our energies and abilities to accomplish our dreams. Too many people muddle through their lives riding the jalopy called mediocrity.

    The following are some points to follow to help get better focus in your life:

    1. Acknowledge your confusion and call a time out to assess yourself.
    2. Set aside some time and examine your past/present/future in a way to better understand yourself and help inspire you to do your best with resulting focus. The following proverb is a helpful thought: “If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable”.
    3. Talk to friends and trusted family members and associates about how they perceive you and what they feel would best help you develop focus in life.
    4. Seek out possible mentors who in a non-threatening manner can give you insight into yourself and how to best develop better focus in your life.
    5. Seek out professional persons who can help you better develop your focus. They would include a career counselor or psychologist experienced in work related matters.
    6. Process all the feedback.
    7. Then do a critical self-examination and prepare for the future with a plan to better develop focus to help you achieve your goals.
    8. Once you move forward to develop focus in life, never lose faith in your ability to make good decisions that will allow success and happiness in your life. Steve Jobs of Apple said it best in the following quote: “You have to trust in something. Your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down and it has made all the difference in my life”.
