- GOOSE SENSE (Dr. James Sutton) February 9, 2019As tough as it might be to shed a reputation for being everything from silly to not-so-smart, the goose also stands as an example of some qualities that most folks would stand in line to acquire. Even a long, slow line. Take efficiency, for example. Wild geese fly in a “V” formation for a reason […]docspeak
- Humility: A First Step to Greatness (Dr. James Sutton) January 11, 2019Although there are many thoughts on why some folks excel while others struggle, I do believe that, in most cases, the difference comes down to a sense of personal confidence balanced with authentic humility. It’s an “I’m comfortable enough in my own skin that I can step outside of myself to recognize and encourage others” […]docspeak
- THE HOMETOWN BATTLEFIELD (Video & Song) November 29, 2018A Navy friend of mine sent me this song and video with the encouragement that it be passed on and shared. In just days it drew over a million hits. Canadian J P Cormier has done an excellent tribute here to returning veterans that struggle with PTSD. There’s nothing else I can add to his […]docspeak
- Managing Anger (OURS) October 31, 2018In the years before I retired, I wrote scores of articles on topics related to my work as a psychologist. This morning, I was on the internet reading an article that caught my interest. I didn’t realize until I got near the end of it that I WROTE IT! It’s probably one of the shortest […]docspeak
- Why Bother? (Dr. James Sutton) October 13, 2018The great lyricist Oscar Hammerstein accepted the invitation of a friend to take a plane ride around New York Harbor in a small two-seater. The trip included a flight right over the Statue of Liberty. They flew so close, in fact, that the two clearly saw the top of Lady Liberty’s head. What they saw […]docspeak
- Judging George was Wrong! (Dr. James Sutton) September 17, 2018JUDGING GEORGE WAS WRONG! I recently finished reading the biography of George Stephenson; he perfected the steam locomotive and really started the railroad as an industry. The reason why we don’t hear much about him is because it took place first in England. (Did you know the first trains didn’t run on tracks, but rather […]docspeak
- A Few Thoughts on Courage and Patriotism (Dr. James Sutton) August 28, 2018Since John McCain passed away last Saturday, I’ve been wanting to share my thoughts of my respect for him, but really couldn’t put them into words. I’m still struggling with it, I suppose. Especially as a Vietnam vet, I was always moved by what he and the other POWs went through during their captivity in […]docspeak
- A Message of Encouragement (Dr. James Sutton) August 13, 2018A friend from Austin, Texas, Jim Gentil, sent me this in his weekly message of encouragement. It touched my heart; perhaps it will touch yours, also. To me, the message here is that, if we are caring, loving people, we should make it a point to be aware of what we have accomplished, be mindful […]docspeak
- 2%-The Winner’s Edge (Dr. James Sutton) July 28, 2018It’s post time at the track. The sun is shining warmly and a soft breeze wanders through the crowd. The air is charged with anticipation: a million-dollar purse is on the line. The horses settle in the gate. The starter pauses, then … “And they’re off!” The jockeys work for position as the thoroughbreds take […]docspeak
- The Trouble Tree (Dr. James Sutton) July 13, 2018The truth is, some folks manage their troubles and problems better than others. Here’s a short story about one person’s way of not spreading his troubles on his family. It makes a great point regarding how we could exercise a similar skill, if we really cared to do it. Thanks to Jim Gentil of Austin, […]docspeak
