33、.S. Ambassador to Sweden Part One: Paradigms and Principles INSIDE-OUT There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living - David Starr Jordan * * * In more than 25 years of working with people in business, university, and marriage and family settings, I have come
34、 in contact with many individuals who have achieved an incredible degree of outward success, but have found themselves struggling with an inner hunger, a deep need for personal congruency and effectiveness and for healthy, growing relationships with other people. I suspect some of the problems they
35、have shared with me may be familiar to you. Ive set and met my career goals and Im having tremendous professional success. But its cost me my personal and family life. I dont know my wife and children anymore. Im not even sure I know myself and whats really important to me. Ive had to ask myself - i
36、s it worth it? Ive started a new diet - for the fifth time this year. I know Im overweight, and I really want to change. I read all the new information, I set goals, I get myself all psyched up with a positive mental attitude and tell myself I can do it. But I dont. After a few weeks, I fizzle. I ju
37、st cant seem to keep a promise I make to myself. Ive taken course after course on effective management training. I expect a lot out of my employees and I work hard to be friendly toward them and to treat them right. But I dont feel any loyalty from them. I think if I were home sick for a day, theyd
38、spend most of their time gabbing at the water fountain. Why cant I train them to be independent and responsible - or find employees who can be? My teenage son is rebellious and on drugs. No matter what I try, he wont listen to me. What can I do? Theres so much to do. And theres never enough time. I
39、feel pressured and hassled all day, every day, seven days a week. Ive attended time management seminars and Ive tried half a dozen different planning systems. Theyve helped some, but I still dont feel Im living the happy, productive, peaceful life I want to live. I want to teach my children the valu
40、e of work. But to get them to do anything, I have to supervise every move; and put up with complaining every step of the way. Its so much easier to do it myself. Why cant children do their work cheerfully and without being reminded? Im busy - really busy. But sometimes I wonder if what Im doing will
41、 make a difference in the long run. Id really like to think there was meaning in my life, that somehow things were different because I was here. I see my friends or relatives achieve some degree of success or receive some recognition, and I smile and congratulate them enthusiastically. But inside, I
42、m eating my heart out. Why do I feel this way? I have a forceful personality. I know, in almost any interaction, I can control the outcome. Most of the time, I can even do it by influencing others to come up with the solution I want. I think through each situation and I really feel the ideas I come
43、up with are usually the best for everyone. But I feel uneasy. I always wonder what other people really think of me and my ideas. My marriage has gone flat. We dont fight or anything; we just dont love each other anymore. Weve gone to counseling; weve tried a number of things, but we just cant seem t
44、o rekindle the feeling we used to have. These are deep problems, painful problems - problems that quick fix approaches cant solve. A few years ago, my wife Sandra and I were struggling with this kind of concern. One of our sons was having a very difficult time in school. He was doing poorly academic
45、ally; he didnt even know how to follow the instructions on the tests, let alone do well in them. Socially he was immature, often embarrassing those closest to him. Athletically, he was small, skinny, and uncoordinated - swinging his baseball bat, for example, almost before the ball was even pitched. Others would laugh at him. Sandra and I were consumed with a d
