  • Resumen

  • Becoming and raising good people does not happen by accident. Nothing that is worthwhile, valuable or magnificent happens by default -not a marriage, not a career, not children who grow into happy, kind and accomplished adults. Excellence is not accidental.

    This podcast is a tool for parents to use as they purposefully introduce their children to high ideals, virtues, and concepts that are essential to becoming a good person. We do this in short 3-5 minute podcasts (borrowing from experiences in history, stories shared by others, scenarios and situations) with the intent to foster conversation between parents and children.

    No one wants to be lectured or moralized -especially children and teens... especially by their parents. So having some outside voices on matters that will help shape children is invaluable. This of this podcast as a contemporary version of Aesops Fables. Great for parents, teachers, youth leaders or anyone who is looking for inspiring content when driving to school, a soccer game, to the grocery store or beginning your day. Enjoy!

    Creator and Host: Dr. Thomas Wicke -a social psychologist who is president of a healthcare college in Denver, Colorado. He is an author, published academic, teacher and speaker on creating effective culture in the workplace through intentional leadership. He consulted with the Department of Homeland Security on community impact of disaster. He is husband for 30+ years to a public school teacher and parent of three children.

    Not by Accident: Wilbur's home gym -Episode3

    When building character and the corresponding muscle groups--integrity, honor, kindness, patience, persistence, committment to truth, etc.-- you will encounter resistence. All growth is a product of resistence. This often happens in unexpected and unwanted ways. Wilbur Wright is known for changing the world but we share a story of how the world changed him. In fact, it appeared that the world turned on him in a cruel and undeserved way that derailed him from a promising future.... Or did it? Did the very unfortunate events of his youth contribute to create a much better and qualified person to change the world of aviation and science than may have happened if he had not encountered these challenges. Furthermore, his struggle and "setbacks" demonstrate the value of a "home gym". He found strength and built muscles of character while being streched, fatiqued and broken down in the environment of his home and family -where those who most loved and cared for him could help him lift a heavy set of weights life dealt to him. An excellent lesson for all of us who may be going through growing pains, training injuries, character rehabilitation or just becoming stronger, better people.

    Life will sometimes hand you difficult and undeserved challenges. How we respond not only impacts our own happiness but can lift, inspire and strengthen others. Choosing to be happy, which may be as heroic as any achievment even if done in the quiet and unknown walls of our own home, takes courage, sustained effort and a focus on others. All these are critical elements of character and halmarks of a virtuous person. These are illustrated by a painful real-life experience shared by, Dave, a caller to the Dennis Prager Radio show.
