Too Much Medicine?
Busy At The Office
A woman goes to the doctor and tells him that she hasn’t been feeling well. The doctor examines her, leaves the room and comes back with three
different bottles of pills. The doctor says, “Take the green pill with a big glass of water when you get up. Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Then just before going to bed, take the red pill with another big glass of water.”
Startled to be put on so much medicine the woman stammers, “Ohhh! doc, exactly what’s my problem?”
The Doctor says, “You’re not drinking enough water.”
My boss phoned me today and asked, "Is everything okay at the office?" "Yes, it's all under control.," I replied. "It's been a very busy day, I haven't
stopped for a minute." "Can you do me a favor?" he asked. I said, "Of course, anything, what is it?" He said, "Hurry up and take your shot, I'm right behind you on the 7th hole."

True Love is Blind
I'm not a perfect girl. My hair doesn't always stay in place.I spill things a lot; I'm pretty clumsy.Sometimes I have a broken heart. My friends & I sometimes fight & maybe some days nothing goes right. But when I think about it & take a step back, I remember how amazing life truly is & that maybe, just maybe ... I don't mind being imperfect...
Which is correct: 18 plus 19 is 36. Or 18 plus 19 are 36?
Actually neither is correct – 18 plus 19 is 37!
Even a swan can’t help who…or what…she falls in love with! A beautiful black swan living in Munster Germany is in love….with a white, over-sized, swan-shaped paddle boat!
Several years ago Petra was so smitten with the decorative paddle boat that she has stayed by its side this whole time. Concerned for the bird, officials moved Petra and her beloved paddle boat to the nearby zoo in the hopes she would find a suitable mate in the bird population. At first they thought it successful when Petra appeared to take up with a real white swan and the paddle boat was moved back to the lake. Alas, it was but a fling and not the “real thing”.
Days later Petra rejected her new beau who soon took comfort in the com-pany of other black swans. Becoming increasingly troubled, obviously pining for her true love, officials made the decision to return her to the lake and her swan-shaped paddle boat. So far it’s happily ever after.
1990A recession is officially announced.1991The unpopular Goods and Services Tax comes into effect ( Jan. 1). Canadian forces join the multinational forces in the battle to drive Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi troops from Kuwait ( Jan. 15).1992Although the players are all American, the Toronto Blue Jays become the first nominally Canadian team to win baseball’s World Series. 1993Part of northwest B.C. is set aside as a world heritage conservation site.

Questions & Answers
When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.”
The company thought that the word “embarazar” (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!”
Marketing Gone Awry

Q: What lives in the ocean, is grouchy, and hates its neighbors? A: A hermit crab!

• Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused No-vocain during a root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
• There was a man who entered a local paper’s pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortu-nately, no pun in ten did.
I Believe...The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything.

Ah, You're Freshmen!
When I first started college, the Dean came in and said “Good Morning” to all of us. When we echoed back to him, he responded “Ah, you’re Freshmen.”
He explained. “When you walk in and say good morning, and they say good morning back, it’s Freshmen. When they put their newspapers down and open their books, it’s Sophomores. When they look up so they can see the instructor over the tops of the newspapers, it’s juniors. When they put their feet up on the desks and keep reading, it’s seniors.”
“When you walk in and say good morning, and they write it down, it’s graduate students.”

John G. Miller Author of ... ‘QBQ! The Question Behind the Question®’, ‘Flipping the Switch ... Unleash the Power of Personal Accountability’, ‘Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional’, http://www.qbq.com/ Denver, Colorado, USA 303-286-9900 [email protected]
Personal Accountability in ParentingOur twentysomething daughter, Molly, was in charge of a neighbor’s
twelve-year-old boy for a weekend while his parents traveled. On Saturday morning, Molly brought him over to hang out at our house, along with his buddy Grayson. We’d never met Grayson, nor had we met Grayson’s mom and dad.
We don’t know what they’re like, where they’re from, or what they do for a living, but we do know something about them. They left clear evidence—in Grayson.
We live on a couple acres of Colorado land with a big barn and a swimming pool. There are signs everywhere that this has been home to seven children: a trampoline, a rope to swing on, a well-worn four-wheeler, and lots of indoor “techno toys.” It’s a place that kids can really enjoy. So for many hours the boys had tons of fun and the day flew by. Around 7 P.M., Molly yelled, “Guys, time to go!” Hearing high-energy footsteps and the swift opening and closing of doors, we assumed they’d all left the house, so we were startled when Grayson appeared in our living room.
“Thanks for letting me come over, Mr. and Mrs. Miller!”“You’re welcome,” we replied. “Hope you had fun.”“I sure did!”“Come again, okay?” Karen said.“I will. Thanks!”“Terrific! See ya, Grayson.”“Okay. Have a good evening. Bye!”Hmm, did we just interact with an engaging young person who demon-
strated courtesy and gratitude? Did he actually say, “Have a good evening”?And instantly we knew this: He didn’t pick any of that up by watching
television. He learned it from his mom and dad because, like children every-where, he is a product of his parents’ outstanding parenting.
Some people will pursue endlessly the “nature versus nurture” debate, but we’re not going there in Parenting the QBQ Way. Sure, this trait or that characteristic might be born into our kids, but the danger in thinking about the impact of “nature” is that we’ll use nature as an excuse for whatever our
children are like if we’re not careful. Since this book is focused on personal accountability in parenting, the last thing we’ll do is encourage any dad or mom—including John and Karen Miller—to look outside of ourselves and the way we parent to find reasons why our children think, feel, or act the way they do.
We know that this is a difficult notion for many parents to accept, so we’re going to say it early to set the tone:
If you have problems with your teen, you likely had problems with your toddler.A parent writes this:Our eighth-grade son is driving us crazy! Each week he’s supposed to
empty all of the trash cans in the house, consolidate the garbage into bags—not cans—and place it by the curb for pickup. But he routinely places one of our large cans on the street instead, knowing it’s the wrong way to do it! When he doesn’t set his alarm at night and oversleeps, he blames his sister for not getting him up. If we tell him to stop playing games on the computer and do his homework, he ignores us and says that we’re “mean.” When he doesn’t practice his piano lesson, he takes absolutely no accountability for his lack of preparedness for the next time he’s with his teacher. What do we do? Help!
This is an awfully frustrating situation—and we truly feel for these par-ents—but problems like these don’t appear overnight. We don’t mean for this to sound harsh, but we believe problems like these are a direct result of the parents’ practices through the child’s lifetime. So the wrong questions to ask are “Why is my child so difficult?” and “When will he change?” while the right questions would be: “What have I done to create my current problems?” and “How can I start parenting differently?” Questions like these (we call them QBQs) not only represent accountable thinking, they lead to learn-ing—and where there is learning there is change.
For many parents, one key change needed is the willingness to adopt this principle: My child is a product of my parenting. With this premise in place, regardless of the age of the child, any parent can become the outstanding mom or dad they wish to be by practicing personal accountability.John and Karen Miller

John G. Miller Author of ... ‘QBQ! The Question Behind the Question®’, ‘Flipping the Switch ... Unleash the Power of Personal Accountability’, ‘Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional’, http://www.qbq.com/ Denver, Colorado, USA 303-286-9900 [email protected]
Personal Accountability in ParentingOur twentysomething daughter, Molly, was in charge of a neighbor’s
twelve-year-old boy for a weekend while his parents traveled. On Saturday morning, Molly brought him over to hang out at our house, along with his buddy Grayson. We’d never met Grayson, nor had we met Grayson’s mom and dad.
We don’t know what they’re like, where they’re from, or what they do for a living, but we do know something about them. They left clear evidence—in Grayson.
We live on a couple acres of Colorado land with a big barn and a swimming pool. There are signs everywhere that this has been home to seven children: a trampoline, a rope to swing on, a well-worn four-wheeler, and lots of indoor “techno toys.” It’s a place that kids can really enjoy. So for many hours the boys had tons of fun and the day flew by. Around 7 P.M., Molly yelled, “Guys, time to go!” Hearing high-energy footsteps and the swift opening and closing of doors, we assumed they’d all left the house, so we were startled when Grayson appeared in our living room.
“Thanks for letting me come over, Mr. and Mrs. Miller!”“You’re welcome,” we replied. “Hope you had fun.”“I sure did!”“Come again, okay?” Karen said.“I will. Thanks!”“Terrific! See ya, Grayson.”“Okay. Have a good evening. Bye!”Hmm, did we just interact with an engaging young person who demon-
strated courtesy and gratitude? Did he actually say, “Have a good evening”?And instantly we knew this: He didn’t pick any of that up by watching
television. He learned it from his mom and dad because, like children every-where, he is a product of his parents’ outstanding parenting.
Some people will pursue endlessly the “nature versus nurture” debate, but we’re not going there in Parenting the QBQ Way. Sure, this trait or that characteristic might be born into our kids, but the danger in thinking about the impact of “nature” is that we’ll use nature as an excuse for whatever our
children are like if we’re not careful. Since this book is focused on personal accountability in parenting, the last thing we’ll do is encourage any dad or mom—including John and Karen Miller—to look outside of ourselves and the way we parent to find reasons why our children think, feel, or act the way they do.
We know that this is a difficult notion for many parents to accept, so we’re going to say it early to set the tone:
If you have problems with your teen, you likely had problems with your toddler.A parent writes this:Our eighth-grade son is driving us crazy! Each week he’s supposed to
empty all of the trash cans in the house, consolidate the garbage into bags—not cans—and place it by the curb for pickup. But he routinely places one of our large cans on the street instead, knowing it’s the wrong way to do it! When he doesn’t set his alarm at night and oversleeps, he blames his sister for not getting him up. If we tell him to stop playing games on the computer and do his homework, he ignores us and says that we’re “mean.” When he doesn’t practice his piano lesson, he takes absolutely no accountability for his lack of preparedness for the next time he’s with his teacher. What do we do? Help!
This is an awfully frustrating situation—and we truly feel for these par-ents—but problems like these don’t appear overnight. We don’t mean for this to sound harsh, but we believe problems like these are a direct result of the parents’ practices through the child’s lifetime. So the wrong questions to ask are “Why is my child so difficult?” and “When will he change?” while the right questions would be: “What have I done to create my current problems?” and “How can I start parenting differently?” Questions like these (we call them QBQs) not only represent accountable thinking, they lead to learn-ing—and where there is learning there is change.
For many parents, one key change needed is the willingness to adopt this principle: My child is a product of my parenting. With this premise in place, regardless of the age of the child, any parent can become the outstanding mom or dad they wish to be by practicing personal accountability.John and Karen Miller

Ah, You're Freshmen!
When I first started college, the Dean came in and said “Good Morning” to all of us. When we echoed back to him, he responded “Ah, you’re Freshmen.”
He explained. “When you walk in and say good morning, and they say good morning back, it’s Freshmen. When they put their newspapers down and open their books, it’s Sophomores. When they look up so they can see the instructor over the tops of the newspapers, it’s juniors. When they put their feet up on the desks and keep reading, it’s seniors.”
“When you walk in and say good morning, and they write it down, it’s graduate students.”

True Love is Blind
I'm not a perfect girl. My hair doesn't always stay in place.I spill things a lot; I'm pretty clumsy.Sometimes I have a broken heart. My friends & I sometimes fight & maybe some days nothing goes right. But when I think about it & take a step back, I remember how amazing life truly is & that maybe, just maybe ...

Which is correct: 18 plus 19 is 36. Or 18 plus 19 are 36?
Actually neither is correct – 18 plus 19 is 37!
Even a swan can’t help who…or what…she falls in love with! A beautiful black swan living in Munster Germany is in love….with a white, over-sized, swan-shaped paddle boat!
Several years ago Petra was so smitten with the decorative paddle boat that she has stayed by its side this whole time. Concerned for the bird, officials moved Petra and her beloved paddle boat to the nearby zoo in the hopes she would find a suitable mate in the bird population. At first they thought it successful when Petra appeared to take up with a real white swan and the paddle boat was moved back to the lake. Alas, it was but a fling and not the “real thing”.
Days later Petra rejected her new beau who soon took comfort in the com-pany of other black swans. Becoming increasingly troubled, obviously pining for her true love, officials made the decision to return her to the lake and her swan-shaped paddle boat. So far it’s happily ever after.

When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.”
The company thought that the word “embarazar” (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!”

Too Much Medicine?
Busy At The Office
A woman goes to the doctor and tells him that she hasn’t been feeling well. The doctor examines her, leaves the room and comes back with three
different bottles of pills. The doctor says, “Take the green pill with a big glass of water when you get up. Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Then just before going to bed, take the red pill with another big glass of water.”
Startled to be put on so much medicine the woman stammers, “Ohhh! doc, exactly what’s my problem?”
The Doctor says, “You’re not drinking enough water.”
My boss phoned me today and asked, "Is everything okay at the office?" "Yes, it's all under control.," I replied. "It's been a very busy day, I haven't
stopped for a minute." "Can you do me a favor?" he asked. I said, "Of course, anything, what is it?" He said, "Hurry up and take your shot, I'm right behind you on the 7th hole."
