Life Lessons From Rudolph: Six Ways Lovable Misfits Can Leverage Their Own “red Nose” for a More Fulfilling 2009
Posted by admin
By Robin Fisher Roffer
We all know the story. Weâve watched the classic movie over and over and had the cheery song stuck in our heads for days. (Youâre hearing it now, arenât you?) Weâve cheered on the plucky red-nosed reindeer and his companion Hermey, the determined elf with dental school dreams. Even as adults, weâve delighted in the snowy North Pole scenes, shuddered at the Abominable Snowman, and rejoiced at our unlikely heroâs happy ending. But few of us have really pondered the meaning behind this little fable: that a fulfilling life means being yourselfâ(symbolic) glowing red nose and all.
Thereâs never been a better time to march to the beat of that proverbial âdifferent drummerâ who makes you you. And if you take a lesson from the most famous reindeer of all, you can make 2009 the year you turn your unique qualities to your advantage.
While Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer was made in 1964, its themeâthat embracing your uniqueness pays offâis even truer today. In a global world where businesses (and employees) face a literal world of competition, where people meet their spouses via Internet dating services, and where everyone from hot celebrities to your Uncle Fred have MySpace accounts, fearlessly being yourself is the only way to distinguish yourself from the teeming masses.
Hereâs how Rudolph and his pals channeled their own âfearless fishâ to save the day on that foggy Christmas Eveâand how you, allegorically at least, can do the same in 2009.
Let your nose shine bright. Once it became apparent that Rudolph wasnât like the rest of his peers, his well-meaning father devised a way to help him âfit in.â The mud-covered nose didnât last for long, and when his true self shone through, the other reindeer immediately excluded him from the reindeer games. On the other hand, the pretty little doe Clarice told him his red nose was âmuch better than that false one you were wearing.â The point? Playing an âacceptableâ role never worksâat least not for long.
When you arenât authentic, it shows. Instead of fitting in, you come across as dishonest and untrustworthy. Donât downplay your ethnic background, or try to hide the fact that youâre gay, or maybe a country music fan in an office full of hip-hop listeners. Give the world a fearless representation of who you are and let the chips fall where they may. Chances are theyâll fall in your favor.
Donât just longingly read your dentist book. Grab your (metaphorical) drill and get to work. Hermey is an elf. At the North Pole. Of course he should make toys, right? Wrong! Hermey wanted to be a dentist instead, and in the end, he found the initiative to pursue his dream. Taking the first step toward big life changes, especially those that go against the grain can seem overwhelming. But as fearless fish we see the need for those changes and we take a flying leap instead.
We all have dreams that we have been too scared to fulfill in our lives. Perhaps itâs a new career path, or finally going back to school. Or maybe you are living in a city that just doesnât work for you. Make this the year that you finally change those things. You will be amazed at how many other things begin to fall into place in your life once you allow yourself to pursue the things that really make you happy.
Seek out your own Hermey and make friends. On the surface it may seem like a red-nosed reindeer and an elf who wants to be a dentist may not have all that much in common. However, it was Rudolphâs misfit mantra and Hermeyâs outcast status that bound them together and helped them become an unstoppable force. Likewise if youâre a âfish out of water,â you should align yourself with others who are different or special in their own ways.
Itâs important to find others that you can count on as allies and friends in your quest for success. No, you donât need to hold out for a coworker pal who is also an immigrant from Chinaâthatâs probably unrealistic. But you might join forces with, say, another maverick who is trying to lead the charge for dynamic change within the company.
Find a boss like Santa. No one is suggesting that you find a job in a toy shop, or seek out a jolly leader in a red suit. Rather, seek out leaders or influential colleagues with the insight to recognize what you bring to the table. Santa used Rudolphâs difference to make him a great leader for his team. This is the type of person to look for in your organization who can help take you to the top.
Look for individuals who are creative and open-minded and put yourself in their path. These are the people who will champion your ideas and talents when the time is right. Rudolph was given the chance to save Christmas because he had a leader who could appreciate his unique talent. If you have been laid off, use this opportunity to make your next job one with the right kind of leadership. Your moment could be right around the cornerâit just takes having the right people to help get you there.
Help the misfit toys in your own life. Rudolph and Hermey use their alliance with one another to overcome the odds and achieve their own happy endings. It would be easy to assume that the story stops there, right? Not for fearless fish. Just like Rudolph uses his influence with Santa to help the misfit toys find happy homes, you must advocate for others who need a helping hand.
Once you have begun to find your own way, use the leverage you have achieved to help others on their journey. After all, you were one of them at some point and itâs important to maintain the mentoring cycle. Itâs not just a nice thing to do for someone else; itâs a catalyst for continued growth and positive energy for yourself, too.
Make sure youâll go down in history. It may seem obvious, but the things that make you unique are of any good to you only if you use them. Itâs easy to see the things that make you different as what keeps you outside the group at large. In reality, they are your own secret weapons. If Rudolph hadnât used his nose to guide the sleigh through the fog, he would still just be an outsider to the reindeer community. Instead, he winds up the hero.
Being a fearless fish out of water means believing that you are not just taking up space but that your contributions are valuable. Cultivating this kind of confidence from deep inside of you will spur you forward more than anything else in life. So donât apologize for who you are and what makes you different. Be bold, be creative, and put yourself out there. People who are different are often the ones who can make the biggest difference.
Of course, âbe yourselfâ hardly seems like the kind of cutting-edge advice to build a life-changing New Yearâs Resolution around. After all, everyoneâs mother has said it a hundred times. But if youâre honest, youâll admit that those two tiny words are tough to put into action. And thatâs precisely why theyâre so powerful.
So many people are terrified to be themselves. So when you decide to cut that inner rebel loose, well, people notice. They pay attention. And if youâve always been the âhide your light under a bushelâ type, attracting attention may be the best thing that ever happened to you. Be who you are, and just like our favorite holiday hero, you will be happy too. And thatâs the only ending to your story that matters.

A Tip to the Logistics of Fishing Pressure

Bite-ON, Bite-OFF;
A tip to the logistics of fishing pressure
By Gary Anderson
Catching fish or going fishing to your favorite spot is like, well, turning on a light switch; up it is on, down it is off. Fishing pressure, traffic, weather and water conditions can all cause bite-on to bite-off behavior, causing a previous productive fishing pattern to fall apart. Change is not a bad thing if you can read the pattern and understand just what is going on with that area of concern under the surface in that mysterious realm beneath the waves. Like that of a light switch, your hotly tot hole may be a turn on today but tomorrow in is a true turn off dead spot; in a word of why, pressure. Understanding the fish behavior puzzle is to understand the links to fish and the barometer or pressure reader. When in the water any object, including the fish, either sinks, floats to the surface or suspends and even the smallest of change in barometric pressure is to a degree like a change in gravity; because objects weigh less in the water, the affect of a pressure change is far more pronounced beneath the surface than above.
Fish are more in tune to the environment more than we humans are. Fish have an incredible array of pressure-sensing systems; such as the lateral line, which keys them in to changes in barometric pressure and, in turn, signals feeding opportunities or foretells the arrival of major weather changes, in the form of pressure gradients, which then determine on when the “Bite” is either on or off. A drop in pressure, a cold front, can cause tiny particles of sediment as well as zooplankton and phytoplankton’s to float off bottom, rising higher in the water column than they normally suspend which, in turn again creates a reduction in water clarity and usually a bite happens as Glass minnows to Mullet frenzy into a feed. As these species, show movement into that of a theatrical moment so does the feed habits of the predators around them causing all to “Bite On!”
Pressure changes occur on the passage of any front or pressure gradient. It does not have to be a cold front to trigger a bite before; many a time on the water, I have used the forming of a cloud moving towards the boat to switch up to an aggressive angling pattern. As this cloud grows darker and spitting drops from aloft fall, so to does the surrounding pressure under the cloud. Usually the fish will “turn on” but for a moment as it passes by. Be alert to the lightning to move towards safety but work the clouds in the summer much as you would a pattern of diving birds. The key to great fishing is coming up with a good game plan based on forage, structure, seasonal patterns and working on your logistics in fishing weather patterns.
“FISH ON!”

The Ten Steps to Happiness After 40
Posted by admin
Step One: Engage in self-reflection
I know â easier said than done. Most of us go through our lives never really getting to know ourselves. After all, life offers us many distractions. Who has time for self-reflection? The only way to to be happy after 40 is to get to know yourself really well. This includes accepting and loving who you are. This includes accepting and loving the nervous habits that only you know about, those annoying addictions, and that little pot belly or slight jiggle. All your life perhaps, you have been reminded by a parental voice that you are not quite good enough or smart enough. Or maybe itâs a loving spouse who, with all good intentions, is quick to remind you of your faults. It may be just society â and all the pressures to look and act young while buying lots of stuff and having perfect children and lots of money. All this can make self-reflection a scary proposition, but this is the first and most important step towards happiness. Start with this simple question:
What makes me happiest?
Be completely selfish and honest with your answer
Step Two: Spend time on what makes you most happy
Sounds logical, doesnât it? Examine your list. What are some of the things that make you happiest; and make you feel most alive? Perhaps itâs the little things â like reading the paper in the morning? Or reading a good book? Maybe itâs spending time with those you care about? Maybe itâs playing on the computer writing music. The point is this: make sure each day contains at least some of these important elements. This will make you happy.
Donât give up these items to satisfy others and their demands. This will lead to illness and unhappiness.
Step Three: Find someone to take of and who can take care of you
Humans need humans. We also need a few â or even just one â person we can think about all the time: planning activities with or just daydreaming about. Ideally, this will be the same person who spends their day planning for you, dreaming about you, perhaps making your special cup of tea when you come home at night. With someone to care for in a equal relationship, you will be happy. So many relationships end up lopsided, with one person more dependent on the other. Two people who place each otherâs needs in high priority in a loving way enables happiness.
Step Four: Laugh a lot each day
Humor helps to focus the mind on the silly aspects of life. Humor helps break patterns such as negative thinking and addictive habits. Whether itâs watching funny movies, going to see comedy or just joking with people you meet, you will lighten the stress of everyday life. This will help you to be happy.
I used to become so angry about sales calls to the house at dinner time. Now, it becomes my comedy hour. The other day someone called to offer some type of insurance. The offer was that if I agreed to buy the insurance, they would send out a ten dollar gift certificate for gas in 7-10 days. I told them I was out of gas today, and asked if they could overnight the coupon, so that I could have gas the following day. Then I asked them when their dinner break was. They told me, and I said I would call them back during their dinner break as I was having my dinner! The person said they werenât allowed to take calls during dinner!! Amazing, but you get the idea!
Laugh with others, and find comedy in your daily life. This will make you happy.
Step 5: Be physical
There are lots of ways to be more physical. You can run, lift weights, swim, do yoga, walk, make loveâyou get the idea. Motion changes emotion. Stuck in a depression? Get out and move! This will make you happy.
Step 6: Take afternoon naps
A twenty-minute nap lying down will recharge your batteries. Add eight hours of sleep each night, and you will feel rested. When we are rested, our creativity soars, our spirits are lifted, and we look at the bright side of our lives.
Well-rested people are happier!
Step 7: Eat small meals throughout the day
The typical American diet is little to no breakfast, a decent lunch, and a huge dinner. Break this pattern. Start to eat smaller meals throughout the day. I recommend five meals throughout the day, small and healthy meals, of course.
What we eat has a huge influence on our attitude, and ultimately our happiness.
Fight the urge for unheathy foods. Healthy eating habits can help make you happy.
Step 8: Become emotionally strong
When we let others and their feelings and perceptions of us worry us all day, this drains our energy and spirit. When we live our lives for the approval of others, we are no better off than the puppet on the string at the local childrenâs puppet show. Become internally motivated, and you will become emotionally stronger. Use quiet time to think deeply about one subject at a time until you reach a conclusion and resolution. In the end, tell yourself you did the best you could at the time. This will make you emotionally strong, and you will be happier.
Step 9: Treat your money with respect
Your money has no loyality to any person or cause. It goes where you decide to place it.
Even though there is really great software these days to track your money, start with a pencil and a piece of paper. Examine what comes in each month, and what goes out. Thatâs it.
Make sure you are spending money on things that are important to you and that add value in your life. Certain bills may add value in your life, such as the electric bill, but the multiple credit card bills do not add value, especially if, like most of us, you still have the bills coming long after you have forgotten what you bought. Pay these off. There is no secret here. You either have to reduce expenses or increase income. Both can make you happy. In my experience, reducing the expense side will make you happier!
Step 10: Do the work you love
Of course I saved the best for last. When we spend our days doing work that aligns our interests and our abilities â and feels just right â we are happier. Start by examining your work: this can help you progress through the other nine steps. Most of us figure out what work might make us happy, but then we quickly convince ourselves that our dreams are not possible.
Think about it, if you donât believe that your dreams are possible, who else will?
START!
Each day, focus on one of these steps and within a few weeks you will learn how to use all ten steps together. Like a well-tuned orchestra, you will start to play the music that makes you happiest.
After 40, isnât it about time for you?
Iâll be cheering you on as you go- Craig Nathanson
