Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Don’t Take It Personally

I was driving through the Target parking lot yesterday, and apparently the happy lady coming from the other direction was a tad bit upset with my driving.

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: The Price Of Being Right

Ok, go ahead. Laugh, point fingers, snicker. I used to watch Oprah quite a bit. (I also watched the CBS soaps too. Bold & The Beautiful was my favorite.)

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Learn Like A Child

I was talking to a co-worker today about a new task she was trying to get comfortable with. She was frustrated and lacked confidence because she didn't feel comfortable with her new role. She was trying hard to learn, but was dissatisfied with how quickly her grasp of the duties was coming along.

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Life Is All About The Condiments

Sure a big juicy burger is important, but for me it's all about slathering on lots of ketchup, mustard, and Miracle Whip. As much as I enjoy a summertime hot dog from the cart on Main Street, it would be nothing without chopped onions and ketchup spilling on to my shirt. And I love shrimp, but it's most important role is that of a delivery device for the cocktail sauce.

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Is It Really Luck?

Sure I have been lucky, we all have at one time or another. We have probably been the victims of some really bad luck too. There are lucky ducks, good luck charms, and the luck of the Irish. I just wonder how to know when it's really luck, and when it's something else entirely. Have you ever noticed that the harder we work, the 'luckier' we are?

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Good vs. Great

Why would anyone be satisfied with doing a job to anything less than the best of their ability? Why do some people consistently over achieve, while others consistently fall short? I think a large part of it is where they're aiming their guns. If someone's goal is to do what's expected, then I think they'll frequently come up short. Their best performance will be 'what's expected.'
