Redefining potential:
An NACD Bob Moment:  One of my favorite memories was being with one of our families in Alaska.  Little 5-year-old Carrie's mom asked her to tell me what her two new words for the week were.  She answered "ebullient" and "obstreperous." I said, "Carrie, are you ebullient or obstreperous?"  She answered, "Well Bob, sometimes I'm ebullient and sometimes I'm obstreperous; but right now I'm just kind of tranquil."  It's amazing what a few minutes of program a day can do for a typical child.
