Father Knows Best

I hope you've had a fulfilling Father's Day . I was blessed to be a
father and grandfather and there's nothing quite like that feeling.
My daddy passed away in 1990 so I spent part of my day
reminiscing about he and his father.

My grandfather was a trip. He lived to be 103 and was an
entrepreneur in the furniture business. Well actually the whole
family was. He started in the late 1800's with 3 of his brothers
as Delker Brother's Buggy Company which was mostly
woodworking. When cars came along they switched to making
hardwood furniture. If you ever find Delker Brother's Furniture
I would recommend you buy it up. It's high quality hardwood
maple early American furniture.

After graduating from Notre Dame with a degree in art my
father joined two of his seven brothers and my grandfather at
Delker Brothers. Daddy was the designer and prototype builder.
He was also a builder of people.

One superb quality my daddy had was to look at you with eyes
of hope. He saw not what you were, but what you could be, and
what he believed you would be. He knew most of my flaws, but
I know he still saw me as a 10. Now I always try to honor him
by thinking of myself in the same light.

Many basketball players I've known have had a great father or
father figure in their lives, or at the very least they've had
someone who believed in them like a good father. If there is
someone in your life who believes in you isn't it time to see
yourself as a 10 today.

Before you go out shooting, go to practice, or play in your next
game spend a few minutes seeing yourself as a 10 especially
when it comes to shooting. See yourself performing at your
absolute best.

In the Psycho Cybernetics Foundation's flagship achievement,
the Zero Resistance Living course Dr. Malcolm Maltz teaches a
number of ways to use your imagination to recall past successes
and see yourself as a true winner. You can check it out today at:
