Amway or the Highway!: Talk about DETERMINATION!!
http://amwayorthehighway.blogspot.com/2007/11/talk-about-determination.html
Amway or the Highway! Monday, November 26, 2007. Here is an uplifting story of determination and guts. A girl running in a state cross county championship broke her leg 45 feet from the finish line. Knowing that her TEAM was counting on her, she crawled on her hands and knees the remaining 45 feet. Her efforts helped her TEAM earn fourth place in Ohio. You can read about the story below, or follow this link (to read the story and see the video):. There's a scene in 'Harry Potter' where Harry breaks his a...

Amway or the Highway!: EVERY Child Left Behind!
http://amwayorthehighway.blogspot.com/2007/11/every-child-left-behind.html
Amway or the Highway! Tuesday, November 27, 2007. EVERY Child Left Behind! You would think that with billions of dollars spent on the No Child Left Behind act, there would be considerable progress as far as improving test scores in our public schools. You would be wrong. Poor performing schools, for the most part, are still performing poorly, and I know why. Schools don't focus on RESULTS. Correction: Schools don't focus on RESULTS THAT COUNT. NEVER do the students take a pre-test and a post-test to meas...

Amway or the Highway!: Always do the RIGHT thing!
http://amwayorthehighway.blogspot.com/2007/11/always-do-right-thing.html
Amway or the Highway! Wednesday, November 14, 2007. Always do the RIGHT thing! A few years ago, I was teaching in a middle school in a county north of Atlanta. At the school, an attractive first year female teacher was approached before school by five of her 8th grade boys who started ask rather crude and sexually explicit questions of the teacher, questions that I cannot repeat here, but they were as explicit as one could possibly imagine. When the teacher protested, she was put into a room without repr...

Amway or the Highway!: Punishing Prometheus!
http://amwayorthehighway.blogspot.com/2007/11/punishing-prometheus.html
Amway or the Highway! Saturday, November 24, 2007. According to Greek mythology, Prometheus was tasked with molding man out of clay. Proud of his creation, Prometheus gave various gifts to man which often resulted in conflict with Zeus, king of the gods. When Zeus withheld fire from man, Prometheus decided to steal fire and give it to man himself. Quixtar/Amway's desire to destroy TEAM is nothing short of Zeus punishing Prometheus. What does Quixtar/Amway gain from continued legal attacks against TEAM?

Amway or the Highway! Wednesday, October 31, 2007. George Orwell, himself a socialist, wrote the allegory. To criticize the communist movement in the Soviet Union, which he believed was too oppresive. Incredibly, the story of. Mirrors the rise (and impending) fall of Quixtar/Amway. In the novel, the animals, led by the pigs (Van Andel and DeVos). Overthrow the humans (the leaders of Nutrilite). Who run Manor farm. The pigs convince the rest of the animals (their distributors). Soon, however, the pigs beg...

Hitting machines, various bats and gloves, computers to keep statistics, grounds keeping equipment, and much more was available for the coaches to order. Nobody complained that the speakers w...

Amway or the Highway!: KNOWing How to Hit Your MARK!
http://amwayorthehighway.blogspot.com/2007/11/knowing-how-to-hit-your-mark.html
Amway or the Highway! Sunday, November 18, 2007. KNOWing How to Hit Your MARK! Growing up in the South and being a University of Georgia alumnus, it should be no surprise that I am a big college football fan. Obviously, I love the DAWGS! After being upset by South Carolina in Athens and then being demolished by Tennessee in Knoxville, the Bulldog season seemed lost early this year. To his credit, head coach Mark Richt changed. Knowing that the players feed off of their leader, Richt became more emotional...

Amway or the Highway!: A Shoe Thing!
http://amwayorthehighway.blogspot.com/2007/11/shoe-thing.html
Amway or the Highway! Friday, November 9, 2007. In sports, I appreciate team play and team players which is why I absolutely love players like Kevin Youklis of the Red Sox or Tom Brady of the Patriots or Steve Nash of the Suns. It is also why I have come to loathe "me-first" players such as Kobe Bryant. Although I consider Stephon Marbury to be one of the "me-first" players that I despise, I respect and even admire what he is doing in New York. Imagine this: "Hey Fred, take a look at this website. Yo...
