“One reason I can be more tolerant than most is that as a therapist I have the advantage of information about my patients that most people are not privy to. And I discover that we rarely if ever see the totality of another in ordinary social intercourse. When an individual appears mean and lazy, we are only seeing one part of the person, elicited by a particular set of circumstances on a particular day, and we do well to wait a while before concluding that what we see is the whole person.” PeopleIfsWellsMeanPersonsI CanReasonWholeIndividualSocialWaitingSeeingInformationParticularPerspectiveCircumstancesOrdinaryAdvantagePatientLazyIntercourseTherapistsTotalityWhole PersonConcluding Author:Alan Loy McGinnis
“I feel like a new person. I learned how to deal with people when I wasn't a football player. I always wondered how they'd react to me, if they'd respect me. I found out I have other attributes that I like-and that others like. The injury made me a lot more mature. I have a better grasp of reality in life. I'm more patient and giving. I'm a lot closer to my family and more team oriented. I'm so much stronger emotionally. I have proven to myself that I can overcome the most dreaded injury in football. It's almost like dying and realizing life has been given back to me. I can't wait to play.” PeopleIfsGivingFeelsPersonsHas BeensMadeI CanPlayRealityFoundGivenWaitingRealizingDealsPlayerTeamDyingFootballMy FamilyOvercomingStrongerPatientInjuryMatureAttributesProvenAmerican FootballFootball PlayerRespect Me Author:Keith Millard
