2. ON THE NEW FORGIVENESS ______________________________________________________ The Dalai Lama has taught me a new way to think of forgiveness. Instead of assuming forgiveness means excusing and accepting, I am learning to hold people responsible for what they do, without harboring resentment or anger towards them. This is only harmful to myself. Instead, the Dalai Lama has taught me (and others) that in forgiving someone, not to retain a sense of anger or focus on the past . . . because that would only poison me. He says: “ I forgive, but I don’t forget.” Be angry with the action, not the actor. The Coach wonders . . . can you accept this view of forgiveness? ______________________________________________________3. ON TRYING IT “Emanuel Ax, the great concert pianist, recalls the nervousness when his ensemble, which included cellist Yo-Yo Ma , proposed a new variation on an old piece to their partner, the esteemed violinist Isaac Stern.” Since Stern was 20 years older than they, and had probably played the composition hundreds of times before, they thought he would resist the change. Instead, nearly 80 year old Stern, hesitated briefly and said: “Let’s try it.” I think there is a lesson here for professional speakers, business owners and entrepreneurs. (source: AARP Bulletin) The Coach asks . . . are you willing to do or think something in a new way? _____________________________________________________4. ON A HEALTHY VOICE Voice coach, Joni Wilson, has a few wise tips to keep your voice healthy and young:
The Coach quotes Joni . . . “A good voice, is good business.” ______________________________________________________ 5. ON EMAIL WARNINGS Thanks to my son-in-law, Lance Chayet, for forwarding these reminders:
The Coach learned . . . after a lengthy study, it was discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse. Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late. _____________________________________________________6. ON USEFUL WEB SITES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS 'This book provides practical and sound advice.
