Retirement is a time of transition. You may be dreading it or looking forward to it. It is a time to re-assess your life. A time to come to terms with the fact that you no longer have forever to achieve what you want. It's about coming to terms with your own ageing and eventual mortality. It is a time to recognise what you can and can't do. But that doesn't mean it's a depressing time, or a time to sit back and fall into heap in the corner. Not a time to raise your hands and drop your head in a resigned sort of a way and do absolutely nothing. No it is a time to recognise the changes that will happen when you stop your working as a doctor, whatever your age. Years ago retirement was the end of the...

I'm always humbled into a moment of silence when a parent tells me, "We don't have a television." I think, Wow, no fallback plan when you're craving a moment of silence with every cell of your body; Enduring kids' inevitable comparisons to friends' families who do have on-screen entertainment. I also admire them for being part of a committed cadre of people who have taken a huge step to find alternatives to prefabricated images, to stimulate their kids' imaginations. I am not one of those people. Maybe I will be when I grow up. In the meantime, purity (such as being 100% free of TV) feels like a luxury to me, or else a supreme effort I'm not usually up for. Incremental choices do count, and can be...

As a result of writing literally hundreds of letters of recommendation over the years, I have learned that there are certain common elements and approaches that are applicable to almost all such letters. If you look closely at most recommendation and reference letters you will notice that there are certain "types" of phrases that recur over and over again, throughout the various letters. These statement types can be grouped into three major categories: opening statements, assessment statements, and closing statements. These statements are the three key components of any letter of recommendation. If you formulate these phrases well you are guaranteed to have an excellent letter. OPENING STATEMENTS...

Unknown to the general public as well as the mass media, millions of people mourning the death of a loved one have an experience in which they are convinced they have received a sign or a message from the deceased or a divine being. However, mourners are often reluctant to widely discuss the event out of fear they will be labeled negatively and lose valuable support in their journey to reinvest in life. These encounters have nothing to do with a psychic; they are not invoked, but occur spontaneously. The word spontaneously is a key understanding. As many who have had the experience testify, they were not thinking about the loved one, yet the experience came seemingly out of nowhere--and from an...

My understanding of emotional intelligence is based on BarOn's theory. BarOn has five meta-factors and 15 factors that characterize his definition. The five meta-factors are intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, stress management, and general mood. Reality Testing, Flexibility, and Problem Solving are the three factors in the adaptability scale. When working with my clients, one of the most challenging experiences that they have to confront is what I call transitioning, that is, having to move from one emotional or physical state to another. This might mean moving from fixed rules and procedures to uncertainty and imprecision; or it might mean changing job responsibilities substantially; or it...

Is it a bit unusual to have a conversation with a deceased loved one? Do many people do this? And are there any benefits to such action? What will my friends think if they find out? These questions are not uncommon in the thoughts of those mourning the death of a loved one. Briefly, talking to someone who has died is common for many. There are a considerable number of people who pray and talk to their deceased loved ones on a regular basis. And no, it is not at all unusual since the practice has a long history. In fact, some Christian denominations believe in the doctrine of the Communion of Saints. This involves the belief that deceased loved ones who are in heaven are able to intercede to God for...

Asperger Syndrome is a relatively mild form of autism that effects people in different ways than regular autism. Because it usually does not affect language, many people with Asperger Syndrome go undiagnosed. This is the one form of autism that is usually not caught at an early age and is instead a disorder that develops later in life. Asperger Syndrome, however, can be a very difficult condition to have, so as soon as you suspect yourself or your child of having communication and social behavior problems, see your family doctor. Many famous and successful people were diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. Historians even suggest that Einstein and Mozart each suffered from this disorder. It is important...

Leadership is the art of influencing others to accomplish individual and organizational goals by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Management is the process of working with and through individuals and groups and other resources such as equipment, capital, and technology to accomplish organizational goals. There are several distinctions between leadership and management. Warren Bennis, one of the foremost experts on the scholastics of leadership, differentiated the extremes of leadership and management by stating that "Leaders conquer the context--the volatile, turbulent, ambiguous surroundings that sometimes seem to conspire against us and will surely suffocate us if we let them...

Imagine cuddling up with your small child to look at a picture book together that is interactive, musical, responsive and talks to you? This is the experience that people are having who are engaged in that relatively new pastime – playing computer games with babies.

Playing computer games with your baby is being promoted as a fun activity that a child and their caregiver can share together. And rightly so, because...

After reading one too many articles about the need to eliminate cumbersome processes in the industry I found myself thinking about the roots of bureaucracy. Processes are made to guide the execution of action, and invariably include approval checkpoints to ensure those actions were executed. While processes must be simplified and eventually automated, checkpoints are the real productivity killers. On lack of trust and inefficiencies Some are offended by what they consider a lack of trust, others are distressed by foiled acquisition of equipment that could make their work more efficient. I have been on both camps, but I eventually got over both feelings. The reason? Show me a person with some common...

For 25 years I dreamt but one dream. How to drop out of the rat race at the age of 45? While I continued with all earnest and to the best of my ability, a career which gave me enough money to buy a house, furniture and fixtures for the house, a car, educate my child in the best of schools and universities and enough jewellery and clothes for my wife to last a lifetime, I always lived in the fantasy of retiring at the age of 45. So much so that it became an obsession. The obsession became a reality, though not at 45. Here I was at the age of 47 with no job, with no idea of what I was going to do next, with almost no responsibilities, enough money in the bank to last me a lifetime at a reasonably...
