Wade's Life LessonsHave you ever met a fat unhealthy doctor? I knew several. don’t get me wrong, I also know plenty of healthy ones, in fact. My current doctor is a workout guy like me. I am bringing this up because some people can dish out advice, like eat right, exercise, and don’t abuse bad habits, like […]
You know, I read about someone who refused to help someone out because they were on the verge of passing that person for a promotion. So, they let the person hang out to dry. While this sucked, I would bet most of us have done something like this in the past. We often see our […]
Did you ever get excited about something that you hoped would happen? I’ll bet you have. Did you ever buy a lottery ticket and just get excited thinking about the win? Have you ever played a game and thought about what it would be like to win? Did you ever play a sport and fantasize […]
When we remember the past, often it’s with a touch of nostalgia. For instance, did you ever say, “Times were simpler then” or “Those were the good old days”? I used to say it all the time. Then I realized how good I have it today. I think I’m doing OK and life is way […]
It’s a mix of analysis and emotions. You would think all engineers use extensive analysis, and some do. Most seem to take their analysis and swing it to go the way they feel it should go, which may or may not match all of the data. Some ignore some of the data if it doesn’t […]

There is such a thing called decision fatigue. It’s when our willpower is tapped out because we’ve been making a lot of decisions. It could be in a short time, all day, or over a week. It gets exhausting making all those decisions. Most people think they’re in control of their lives because they make […]
I hear people say how crazy the world is today. Is it really today? Think about today in the US, and how crazy the 1960s were, or maybe the 70s. We were in wars back then. Oh, and in the 90s, 2000s, and so on. We look at what’s going on today and make it […]
Did you ever look back and wonder how you made it through the past? I do. Even with that, I still find some things hard today, even though they’re really not. It just seems hard because we’re always doing something new. New can be frustrating. It’s like doing your taxes every year, they are never […]
Did anyone ever ask you to try something new? It could be food or drink or a sport. I am surprised by how many people refuse to try something new. They will say they’re open to it, but when asked, they instinctively push back. Why is that? I think that some people hate change. Why […]
