#49) Flipping Pennies

[Note about this transcript -- it is approximately the same as what is said in the video -- the same material is covered, though the video might be more fun to watch.] [Mel starts at the white board, writing notes as he goes along.] Hello, and welcome back to "Always Be Better" with Mel Windham. Today we're going to do something fun ... an experiment. But first, during this exciting election year, let's consider a claim from the 2020 election. From 1980 to 2016 (10 elections), there were 19 counties that successfully voted for the candidate who won the presidency. That is, they all voted for Reagan in the 80s, then Bush Senior, Clinton, W Bush, Obama, and finally Trump in 2016. An amazing feat. These are called bellwether counties, because they seem to "predict" the national outcome. Perhaps they are purple and more sensitive to the overall national trends -- nobody quite knows what makes these counties so special. They're just really good at picking t...

#4) The Beginnings of a Video Series

Hello, and welcome back to "Always Be Better" with Mel Windham. Today I'm going to try something a little different. For the first three weeks, if you may have noticed, I've been reading from a script. But this time, I'm going to try to speak more freely, and well, we'll see how this goes. First, let me take you back to November, when I was listening to church. And this guy just kept going on and on about how there's so much hatred in the world. All these people fighting, and you have political strife, you have the coronavirus tearing everybody apart. And he says -- he just kept saying: We're better than this. Why is everybody angry? Why is there so much hate? Why can't we just show love and understanding? And actually work together? And it hit me that: you know what? This is one area where I think I can actually help. I can create this video series and try to inspire people -- try to help people to see the world in a different light, to learn thi...

#39) Proactive Attitudes

Image
Hello, and welcome back to "Always Be Better" with Mel Windham. Today we're going to talk about proactive attitudes and how to be happy. I'm going to show you one trick that Stephen Covey provides to us, but first, I'm going to tell some stories. I'll start with this guy at my work. We'll call him Fred. He was the master of positive attitudes. Everywhere he went, it was: "Happy, happy, happy. When things are going down, just be thankful that you have two arms and two legs. Choose to be happy." This guy even wrote a thesis on the topic of having an Enthusiastic Positive Attitude. I really liked this guy, but many of us thought he was living in some kind of fake reality -- kind of like sweeping the bad stuff under the rug. The problems are still there, but you can try to ignore them. And whenever we told him our problems, his solutions always seemed to be the same: don't worry about it. Just choose to be happy. And then there's the story ...
