“1 in 4 Desperately Unhappy - Here's Why”

I just read this from Anna Johnson of the Success Accelerator

“1 in 4 Desperately Unhappy - Here's Why”
Actually, "desperately unhappy" is putting it mildly.
"Greed is making us sick" blared the headline in Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper on February 5th.
Turns out that in the last 12 months more than a quarter of people in the English speaking world have suffered some kind of mental illness.
Well, this is according to a study quoted in Oliver James' new book Affluenza.
James, a British psychologist, attributes this to "selfish capitalism". According to the Daily Telegraph article by Paul Kent:
"too many people in the English speaking world are ruled by superficial values, to the point where instead of being satisfied as we attain more possessions – get better looking after a facelift, get a deeper tan, a nicer car, a better home – this insatiable need we have created can never be sated, making us increasingly unhappy."
James contrasts English speakers with Western Europeans, who are apparently less materialistic and happier (with only 11.5% suffering a mental illness in the last 12 months).
Curiously, the article makes no mention of how happy the many people living in third world countries - struggling to feed themselves, let alone buy stuff - are.
In any case, there are:
Lies...
Damned lies...
Statistics...
...and inferences about statistics!

How to Herd Cats....When You're a Mouse"

I Just read this......from Anna Johnson of Success Accelerator“How To Herd Cats... When You're a Mouse”
Bringing about change in an entire organization is a bit like trying to herd cats... when you're a mouse.
Not only is it just plain difficult to get everyone moving in the same direction... but at any moment, someone could turn around and bite your head off!
(Or if they're like my old cat, give you a few swipes and then "play" with you a bit... cruel, I know...)
So how do you do it?
How do you change things... from how promotions are awarded... to the policy on leave entitlements... to the structure of the organization... to the overall morale of the staff... to anything?
After all, you may be a small "cog" in a very large wheel with very little apparent influence... or, even if you're part of senior management, you may feel that you won't get buy-in from the majority of staff.
Well, here are four (4) steps I suggest you take to bring about organizational change:

Dog Saved Her Life

Crash victim says dog saved her life
German shepherd came to her assistance after wreck

Shannon Lorio, 36, pets "Hero," the German shepherd she credits with saving her life.



THOMASVILLE, Ga. - A south Georgia woman bloodied in a car wreck says she owes her life to a German shepherd who — thankfully — just wouldn’t stay in his yard.
Shannon Lorio says that after her car careened down an embankment, the wayward dog found her bruised and battered on the vehicle’s trunk, pulled her by her shirt collar, dragged her about 50 yards through briars to a highway and let her lean against him so she could flag a passing motorist.
His new name: Hero.

“That dog is always going to have a special place in my heart,” Lorio said Friday. “He’s my hero.”
Hero’s previous owners have signed him over to the Thomasville-Thomas County Humane Society since the Jan. 26 accident because he kept wandering off.
He won’t be in the shelter long: Not only have at least 50 people offered to adopt him, a dog trainer has agreed to see if he has the right stuff for search and rescue work.
Lorio’s car tumbled backward down an embankment in a remote, heavily wooded area. She said she lost control on a curve and was thrown onto the trunk.
“I was bleeding from my face and my nose,” she said. “All of a sudden, I felt a presence — a really huge presence. He was straddling me. I have watched too many horror movies about werewolves and vampires. I thought he was going to eat me.”
Instead, the dog licked her face, she said.
The 2-year-old dog, weighing 70 pounds, dragged the 136-pound Lorio to the highway, then stood by to help her summon help before she collapsed, she said.
Lorio, 36, of Pavo, said she can’t adopt Hero because she already has six dogs, but she’s showered him with gifts including a huge bone and a stuffed animal.
“If he ever needs anything, I’ll be there,” she said.
Dog trainer Heidy Drawdy, of Thomasville, will take Hero next week to see if he’s cut out to be a search and rescue dog.
First item on the agenda for the wandering canine: obedience training.
