People are walking lessons. By watching how others react, handle stress, or treat those around them, we gain powerful insights—both about them and ourselves.
Notice how someone handles conflict—do they stay calm or react impulsively? Observe how successful people structure their day. Pay attention to those who radiate peace—what habits do they maintain? Learning doesn’t always come from books or direct experience; sometimes, it comes from simply paying attention.
Observing others can help us avoid mistakes, adopt better habits, and understand different perspectives. A good rule of thumb is to stay curious and open-minded. Every interaction, whether positive or negative, is an opportunity to grow.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
