Be a Leader

I use the third principle in HTWFAIP, talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person, mostly when I talking to younger kids about tennis. When I am at home, my job is a tennis coach at my tennis club and I encounter all kinds of kids  that need help on some aspect of their game. A lot of them have mental issues on court, often losing focus and becoming hot-headed. I can relate to them because as a junior, I was much the same and it cost me a lot of matches. After learning how to calm down and focus I got myself in check and I am in a great position tennis-wise now. When I talk to these kids, I always tell them how I was exactly the same and sometimes I flare up on court now and then, but after I say that I can go on to how they are acting and try to help them solve their problems on the court.

Secret of Socrates

Last Friday night me and some friends decided to go bowling in Waldorf, MD and because we had a coupon we thought it was a cheap and fun idea. After reading the coupon, we saw that it was a free game for a limit of four people and of course, we had 5. I saw this to be a perfect opportunity to apply HTWFAIP as well as the Secret of Socrates. When we entered the bowling alley, seeing that it was packed, I asked, "Do you have any open lanes?" Ed, the guy behind the counter, replied, "Yes. Do you want to bowl?" I answered, "Yeah, do you take coupons right now?" He replied, "Yup, we do." I handed him the coupon and said, "It says for four people, but do you think you can help us out with our fifth person? You guys look pretty busy anyway." Ed answered, "Don't worry about it, if anyone asked I only saw four of you guys," then he laughed. So i guess the Secret of Socrates really does work, unless I got lucky.
