The Winning Attitude

Posted by Alex Cena on NJSportsImages.com -- June 18th, 2007
by Catherine Gordon Founder of Net Edge Training, LLC

What is attitude? Today it has so many interpretations; good attitude, bad attitude and some times a “bad” attitude is good? Positive attitudes and negative attitudes. The phrase “They have attitude” might mean a combination of arrogance and confidence. Attitude comes in all shapes and sizes. Literally attitude means “ones disposition, the manner of acting feeling or thinking that shows ones disposition, opinion etc”, in a nut shell your attitude is a reflection of what’s going on inside and has a direct impact on your behavior and how others behave towards you.

Where do you begin to develop a winning attitude?

Spies .. like us!

Growing up in the 80’s, in the midst of the Cold War, CIA, espionage and double agents, the allure of spy movies, spy stories and spy TV shows only grew. Even better, today’s world of Direct TV and hundreds of channels brings a new and exciting spy series to your living room. Yep, Maxwell Smart of “Get Smart” … “Spies Like Us” … “Gotcha”… and heck … “Inspector Gadget” & “Spy vs Spy” now have a new partner … USA Network's Burn Notice!!

In today’s day of Internet hacking and satellite monitoring, I would definitely embark in tinkering with the latest in satellite spying and telescopic high jacking. With the results of all this ultra technology, it would be a remarkable feat going on secret missions without being spotted or identified. I would engage in many plastic face covers to change my facial identifications. I would wear ultra-fabricated skin gloves to change my finger prints. I would definitely have a laptop that acts as a satellite transmitter that has access to all cameras and Internet technologically on the highest level.


By tuning into USA Network's Burn Notice this coming June 28th. When spies get fired, they don't get a letter from human resources. They get BURNED... While on assignment, agent Michael Westen, played by Jeffrey Donovan gets a "Burn Notice" and becomes untouchable. Having no idea what or who triggered his demise, Michael returns to his hometown, Miami, determined to find out the reason for his sudden termination. Unable to utilize his normal contacts and needing to stay under the spy network radar, he puts his Special Ops training to use to help those who the police can't or won't, in order to fund his ongoing personal investigation.

BURN NOTICE (bûrn nō'tĭs) n. 1. An official statement by one intelligence agency to other agencies, domestic or foreign, that an individual or group is unreliable. This is the next best spy story!

All-Star Football (East 19 - West 14)

East Slips Past West in Robeson Game 19-14
by Andrew Sidebottom for MorrisCountyHSsports.net

In the 13th annual Paul Robeson All-Star game, the East, Essex, Warren and some of Passaic counties, nipped the West, Passaic, Morris, and Sussex County, 19-14 in a storm-delayed game.
The West took the lead in the first quarter, after a long drive when Anthony Giordano (Clifton) found Sam Paul of Newton in the end zone from 14 yards out. The West not having the extra point put in when for two but it was intercepted. That drive had a 4th-and-1 from the 18 but Giordano darted through a nice hole for 4 yards on a QB-draw. On the next play, the West scored. The first half was marred with turnovers, with there being five fumbles and three intercepts in the half, including Eric Berman intercepting a pass in the end zone with under a minute to go in the half to preserve the West lead going into the locker room.

In the third quarter, the West drove the ball to the ten behind the arm and legs of Newton’s Steve Zander and Delbarton’s Matt Bruno recovered a fumble and picked up seven extra yards. The West then went for it on fourth down at the East 10 but failed to convert as Paul had a touchdown but could not hold on to the ball after being clocked by a defender. Later in the quarter, Frank DeFranco (Seton Hall Prep) intercepted a Zander pass at the West 14. Then on the ensuing play, Tommy Fisher (Livingston) connected with Amir Morris of Irvington for the score and with the PAT, the East took a 7-6 lead with 11 seconds in the quarter. The skies opened up, the storm rushed in and caused over an hour delay.

When the game resumed, the East looked a well-oiled machine, scoring two touchdowns both on passes one by Fisher and one by Lamar Williams, of Orange, to bring the score to 19-6. Then with just about two minutes left on the clock, the West team answered when Dan Letts of Par Hills scored to make it 19-14. After a defensive stop, the West got the ball and drove to the 45 with four seconds left. Zander scrambled ... and scrambled some more, to find Jefferson’s Buddy Miller running down the sideline and doving for the end zone, Reggie Bush style. But had the ball knocked out at the half-yard line and the East recovered to end the game.

The East was lead by Tommy Fisher who threw for two touchdown passes, while the West offense was lead by Steve Zander and Dan Letts. The defense was lead by linebackers Vinny Lombardazzi of Par Hills, and West Milford’s RJ Howell.

A focus on Drugs

This is a very touchy subject when it comes our kids … DRUGS!

Drugs have hit our schools in every shape and form and there comes a time when the only help available is a rehabilitation center.

I strongly suggest that you take a visit to see a non-profit rehab referral service. This is a smart place to when considering, looking into, our just scanning information on a drug rehab. There comes a time when we may need to find drug treatment for a friend, family, students or a loved one. The website is http://www.1800nodrugs.com/.

Again, this is a FREE program dedicated to the life improvement of people that may have nowhere to turn.

Either way, this is an important site worth visiting. They supply the following info:

The site is filled with tons of insightful and useful information. More importantly, the goals of the organization are as follows:

"Our goal is to achieve relationships with drug rehab program providers to place in drug rehabilitation treatment those individuals suffering from drug addiction and drug abuse related issues.
