Meir Ezra Blog: Your Biggest Source of Trouble and Anxiety (Part Four)

As we have covered in Parts 1-3, the greatest barrier to your success is not the economy, your work habits or your opportunities. Your greatest source of stress is not money or the weather or any physical thing.

The biggest source of business problems, career difficulties and personal stress is antisocial people-people who are devious, mean-spirited, cruel, hostile or negative. People who openly or secretly oppose you, cut you down and cause you trouble.

When you handle or disconnect from an antisocial person, you feel better. You relax. You succeed more than you fail. You have less to fight on your way to your goals.

The first four ways to identify an antisocial person were covered in Parts 1-3. All three parts are posted at our new website at www.tipsforsuccess.org/success-articles.htm. Here are two more ways to identify an antisocial person.

Meir Ezra Blog about Working Hard for Fun and Profit

Highly successful people love to work hard. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and other star athletes succeed because of 12-15 hours of practice per day. Bill Gates and most other self-made billionaires also work hard, long hours for years.

When you can work hard, you can accomplish great things. You have self-respect and pride. You have the horsepower needed to reach your goals.

Employees who work hard are priceless to business owners. When everyone in the group works hard all day long, you have a powerful, profitable, high-morale operation.

Those who cannot work hard are often good at inventing excuses.

Ten Excuses for Not Working Hard

1. "Everyone else is taking it easy."

2. "I thought we're supposed to work smarter, not harder."

3. "I have a medical condition."

4. "I'm a boss and bosses aren't supposed to work hard."

5. "It uses up my rare and valuable energy."

6. "I don't get paid enough."

7. "I don't have the time for it right now."

8. "Once the boss sees you can work hard, you have to do it all the time."

9. "I'm just too tired and don't feel like it."

10. "Hard work leads to workaholism."

Mike Zimmer Credited for Adrian Peterson’s Return

On June 2, 2015, Minnesota Viking’s running back, Adrian Peterson surprised everyone for his comeback on the field. In the midst of practice, he attended an interview with the presence of Viking coach, Mike Zimmerman.

Viking’s general manager, Rick Spielman stated on the 4th of June in his interview with NBC sports that Zimmerman is one who particularly deserves credit for the détente they reached with their veteran running back. The team did not hide their clear sense of relief to finally have Peterson back, clearing and resolving the situation.

In a statement he made in the interview, Spielman noted, “I think coach Zimmer has a great relationship with players in general. And his ability to communicate with them. . . . As you know, there’s not much filter with coach Zimmer, but that’s why players respect him”. Spielman added, “Not only is he a great teacher and going to make a better football player, but they have the utmost respect for him and how he handles things.”

Beyond his rare abilities on the field, Peterson seems to be making a smooth transition back into the mix with teammates, both new and old, who welcomed him back when he rejoined the Vikings earlier this week.

With the death of one of his sons back in 2012 which also made it to the headlines, seems like Adrian has managed well after another allegation was thrown at him in September, 2014, causing him to declare hiatus in his activities. The Peterson group of legal counsel has stated in an interview that although it was not shown, Peterson also experienced a lot of disappointments and frustrations for the way the media has reacted regarding his sons.

The news of the running back taking a break for almost 9 months has also bothered his fans even from outside the United States. A lot of fans from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore had stated their disbelief of child abuse that is accused of him.

According to reviews and news, Peterson allegedly hit one of his sons with a stick, which resulted to a lot of bruises on his son’s legs, hands, buttocks and scrotum. The news has dominated sports discussion even when a lot of people has defended that it was just a form of discipline that he was implementing. Peterson also had apologized to his son and the public stating that his son the intention behind the alleged beating.

Last 2012, his then 2-year old son whom he never knew until a week before the child’s death was reportedly beaten by the mother’s boyfriend bringing a lot of pain to Peterson.

Craig T. Matthews & Associates, LPA : Blended Families

Death, Divorce, Second Marriages, Stepchildren, and Blended Families

Serving Clients in Dayton, Cincinnati and Throughout Central and Southern Ohio

At Craig T. Matthews & Associates, LPA, we see this situation arise all too often.

The death of a spouse is commonly followed with a second marriage by the widow or widower, regardless of how the children of the first marriage may feel about the matter. The second marriage can result in additional children. This is the "blended family." Stepmothers, stepfathers, half brothers, half sisters, stepbrothers and stepsisters: all have been getting to know each other for time immemorial. And the rising divorce rate in modern society is increasing the number of blended families.

Blended families can present unique estate planning goals, and create unique opportunities for the disruption of those goals. Here is an example. A well to do mom and dad are happily married and have three beautiful girls. Then mom dies, and her considerable estate is inherited by dad. The grieving dad tells his girls, "I am setting aside the money that belonged to mom. I may need it when I get older, but I hope not to. And when I die, I want the three of you to have it." Fast forward thirty years. Dad has married stepmother, who was considerably younger. And dad and stepmother had a son together. Son is much younger than his three half-sisters, who have since married and had their own families. When dad dies, the daughters are shocked to discover that mom's inheritance is no longer to be found. To their dismay, they discover that in dad's later years, stepmother somehow convinced a frail, failing husband to add her name on the inheritance account. Or perhaps stepmother persuaded dad to "gift" large sums to son, who never was very good with jobs or finances.

Fortunately legal remedies may be available to the daughters. If stepmother exercised undue influence over dad at a time when dad was susceptible to such influence, or if dad was not competent at the time, then the transfers to stepmother could be set aside under claims of undue influence or lack of capacity. And if stepmother attempts to probate dad's estate, the daughters could move the probate court to remove the stepmother as the estate representative on the basis that the dad's estate has a claim against stepmother, and that it would therefore be a conflict of interest for stepmother to act in a representative capacity for the estate.

Family emotions run deep, and blended families are no exception. Emotions can result in aggressively defended litigation, with the attendant costs and delays. An experienced elder fraud litigator is needed to obtain and analyze financial and medical records, and present the evidence to the judge or jury in such a manner that the true story is revealed.

If you or a loved one have questions regarding wills, estate planning or inheritance disputes, call Attorney Craig T. Matthews or visit our Cincinnati or Dayton Ohio offices to make sure your rights are protected.
