Who Are These New Guys?

Tim Lindt — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:07:00 CST

Each election year it is our duty to find the truth about the candidates for whom we will be casting our vote. Voting is not just a privilege, it is our responsibility. It is also our responsibility to research the candidates and understand their prior record and what they stand for; their platform. It can be a challenge to learn about new names on the ballot. We can look at the incumbents, and from their record, understand what their platform is on issues. The only way to understand where a new candidate will lead is to understand where they have been and what they stand for.

What Ever Happened To MBO's?

Our corporate world is in a space in time where greed and selfishness has overpowered common sense and leadership. Many people look with amazement at the current economic state of corporate America with distress and resentment. They ask how we arrived at this desolate abyss of financial jeopardy in corporate America. The media and national political leaders attempt to break down an explanation, littered with finger pointing. I learned as a small boy, that when we point a finger at another, there are three fingers pointing back at ourselves. My point is; everyone who is trying now to explain the financial crisis has either been fully aware of it or in the middle of it for years.

The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life!

Most everyone has heard the statement above. I have no idea where it originated, or by whom, but it is one of the most powerful statement ever made. With all that is going on in the world from hate and war to economic struggles, to love and peace; to be able to look at our life, as it is our first day is a true gift. The challenge is for us to look at life in this manner. We all have struggles in life, and we have great rewards. Some more or less than others and it is common to ask God and the universe," why me?" Perspective is powerful, yet we often refrain from viewing life from a global perspective. We usually cannot see past our own immediate situation to understand that, though life can bring the most immense challenges possible, and the most wonderful rewards, our human characteristic moves forward with our focus on our minds perspective in that single moment.

Holiday Tragedy

Tim Lindt — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:36:00 CST

As I sat at my desk on July 2, I could not help but think of the upcoming July 4th holiday weekend. For most, this would be thoughts and anticipation of fun and sun. For me, I knew that with the summer holiday, there would be crowded lakes and loss of life. I prayed that there would be no watercraft collisions or intoxicated drivers of watercraft, causing any loss of life. I never fathomed that we would lose seven people to drowning in our north Texas lakes.

Springtime Reality

Spring is in full bloom and we look forward to summer with great anticipation.

What is in a Politician?

Tim Lindt — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 08:48:00 CST

Not many issues in our lives can be more complex than understanding politics. Most of us have been trying to sift through the minutia of the retoric omitted by politicians for most of our adult life. Sometimes, we can dig through to the truth, and at times we are fooled into believing the rhetoric.

Stop the Insanity

Tim Lindt — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:12:00 CST

We are reminded, every week, of just how precious life is. We observe the news and learn about loss of life, and we are all deeply saddened when a life is lost. Some of us understand this tragedy more than others, and we all feel for the family and friends.

She Had A Bad Day

We can always count on traveling to create excitement. You can usually count on either learning a valuable lesson, or experiencing unusual events. This experience always supplies us with either answers or questions. Since 9-11, I have made it a practice to be aware of my surroundings, while traveling, especially on airplanes.

Who Is Watching The Radio?

Tim Lindt — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 09:10:00 CST

We all can understand the power that the media has to persuade us in our positions and perceptions of different issues. We all want to feel that our position is our own thoughts and decisions, but we can be influenced by out side sources, such as the media.

You and I

Tim Lindt — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:39:00 CST

Looking at the Big Picture in a society where most of us ask, why or how, what do we do next? How do we dig out of this mess? I bring you hope and a challenge. We live in a country where innocent people are placed in jail for 27 years, then released when someone finally runs a DNA test.

It�s a New Year, and a New Road to Travel

Tim Lindt — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 13:07:00 CST

It’s a new year and once again it is time to continue your journey in life down the road marked 2008. What path shall you chose for this New Year? Will it be the same path you traveled last year, or will you select an entirely new path to travel on your journey through life?

Making choices for life

Tim Lindt — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 18:48:00 CST

Recently, I was in Chicago on a business appointment, selling baby wipes to the buyer, someone who I have known for 14 years. He was not himself in this meeting. Generally, this type of appointment would be filled with the passion of negotiating a multi-million dollar program.
