Working With Dominant People

Copyright c 2006 William Frank Diedrich When I use the terms Dominant People I am referring to those people who tend to take charge, to be little abrupt, seem to be arrogant, to be impatient, and don t always listen. It s their way or the highway in many cases. Many people are intimidated by Dominant people. Most of us do not like conflict, but Dominant people always seem willing to create it. Typically, most of us manage Dominant types by staying out of their way. We avoid confrontation, avoid saying how we really feel, and often tell them what we think they want to hear. We rationalize our avoidance by complaining that the Dominant person is insensitive, aggressive, impatient, and arrogant. We complain about these faults but they really aren t faults at all. They are strengths. Let me explain. Insensitive means that the Dominant person doesn t care about your feelings. It isn t that he doesn t care. He just isn t aware that you have feelings. What this means is that the Dominant person is so focused on task that feelings aren t even on his radar screen. The ability to be totally focused on task is a strength. When a task focus is over...

Thoughts On Weight Training Programs

Many people in the world are trying to use performance enhancing drugs to gain an edge in sports. I have heard a lot of people in the media saying that these athletes are using performance enhancing drugs to get bigger and stronger. However I have heard many different professional athletes saying that is not the reason at all. They say the reason these athletes are using performance enhancing drugs is that they are trying to get healthy and rebuild faster during the rigors of a season. I do not believe that any reason is a good reason to use drugs, but I think that a well rounded weight training program could help athletes get bigger and stronger without having to completely fatigue their bodies. Quite a few people believe that just lifting big weights is the only way to build muscle. However this is not true at all. The best weight training programs incorporate quite a few other things than just lifting large weights. If you want to get a good well rounded body, then just lifting large weights will not be enough. Almost every time I have been to the gym I usually see some guys that have a huge upper body, but nothing else. These guys do...

Beware Of Hurricane Damaged Vehicles!

Nearly a half million cars were destroyed by two of this past season s biggest hurricanes, Katrina and Rita. Some of these cars may not have received much apparent damage but they were totaled nevertheless because of water, mud, and debris which flooded engine bays and the interior. Damaged cars are supposed to make their way to the junkyard for scrap, unfortunately some unscrupulous parties are gaining a hold of the vehicle titles and turning around and selling damaged cars to the public. Should you be concerned. Absolutely. Read on to learn more about this problem and what you can do to avoid being stuck with a vehicle that is certain to be a lemon. Let me just say this: it is not illegal for weekend mechanics to buy a salvaged vehicle, repair it, and sell it to you. What they must disclose to you is this: you are buying a salvaged vehicle. This is where most of the problems begin: the dishonest purveyors are not sharing this information. Only 22 states require that the titles of flood damaged vehicles which were totaled by insurers be stamped with that information. So, if you live in any one of the 28 other states, be extremely cautious...
