Dr. John H. Braccio and Dave discuss, on the “Morning Wake-Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show, on 7/26/16 on WILS, 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan, about IN THIS AGE OF MASSIVE AND INSTANTANEOUS silifke eskort numaraları SOCIAL MEDIA-HOW CAN ANGRY AMERICANS ON BOTH SIDES OF HOT BUTTON ISSUES REDUCE THEIR ANGER? Dr. Braccio says he personally does not remember such divisive rancor between basically moral human beings. Of course, a problem is that disputing persons do not feel the other persons are basically moral beings. Because most people socialize with persons similar politically to themselves and often seek out views similar to their own on social media or their reading materials we should not be surprised by the sharp bifurcation of political views in America.  Dr. Braccio feels an advantage of his is that in his office he meets with people from all walks of life and he clearly sees daily how basically good persons have great anger with others in this election cycle. The mission of all of us is not to demand change in the political views of others but look for strategies we can use to reduce what is often clearly our own mentally unhealthy anger. One obvious thing is to greatly reduce social media time on the computer. Dr. Braccio also said all of us need to be more tolerant and not take everything others say or think so personally.

What goes on in the mind of the homicidal maniac who does such a brutal act? Clearly, words like evil, depravity, psychopathic, narcissistic, and wicked come quickly to mind. When you potentially add the justification of a religious ideology that promotes such slaughters, the end result can sadly be a San Bernardino or Orlando. Hopefully, people of good will can come together and destroy such a repugnant ideology of hatred and resulting human carnage.

At a time when many of our brightest seem to want to magnify the flaws of our country and historical leaders, let us remember we can enjoy the glories of our Michigan beaches because of the soldiers who stormed the beaches and died at Normandy. Imagine a world run by Hitler and Tojo! We also cannot forget the nearly 600,000 casualties the Union Army suffered in the Civil War to keep the union together and end an American tragedy–slavery. Today is the one day to remember those lives silenced very prematurely for each of us. It is a soul searching experience we can all gain useful introspection. These persons gave their lives so we can try to always be THE SHINING CITY ON THE HILL AND THE LAST BEST HOPE FOR HUMANITY!

Even in a world where we appropriately encourage civility and teamwork, winning is still a critical aspect of life. It is about developing the skill set every successful person has learned to one degree or another. Some quotes from legendary Coach Vince Lombardi sum up what winning is all about:

2. Winning is like a drug. It’s a hard thing to kick.
3. The zeal to be first in everything has always been American, to win, to win, and to win.
4. If you don’t think you are a winner, you don’t belong here.
5. You defeat defeatism with confidence.
6. If you could have won, you should have.
7. The harder you work the harder it is to surrender.
8. A team that thinks it’s going to lose is going to lose.
9. The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.
10. There is no substitute for work.
11. No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles.
12. Not everyone can be a winner all the time, but everyone can make that effort, that commitment to excellence.
13. No one is perfect, but boys, making the effort to be perfect, is what life is all about. If you’ll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can do with your lives.
