That sort of 'leadership' approach has always given me a case of the squits. Is "squits" some down-under sexually transmitted disease... just askin'. No it's not. It means very loose bowels. |

Positive feelings don't allow you to do things that are physically impossible but they a degree of faith allows you to get towards doing your best. This is the basis of sport psychology, any kind of leadership and one of the better aspects of religion. It is a question of motivating people, you cannot motivate people well if they feel hopeless. That sort of 'leadership' approach has always given me a case of the squits. I never watch team sports because of all that jolly hockey sticks coaching stuff which makes me want to gag. Such an approach doesn't allow for more than one mode of motivation and I believe that individuals can be motivated by many and varied techniques/approaches. Give me a rationale rather than that warm and fuzzy fluff stuff. I agree with that FarmI. I hate team sports and never watch them. I prefer to watch individuals sports, if i actually ever watch sport of any kind, like running or biking. I was going to comment on that also. The key word here is "Religion". People who believe are those of a "team" like mind. Very difficult to change those mind sets. Opiate of the masses and all that jazz. There never was a more apt description of religious zeal IMHO. Funny, how foxholes can change that perspective ;O) -- - Billy Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria of the American political landscape. America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich. http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/.../michael-moore /michael-moore-says-400-americans-have-more-wealth-/ |
