I have been watching a lot "Hardball" with Chris Matthews lately. His questions are hard hitting but he is brilliant how he does it in sort of folksy way, like how someone at the barbershop or the watercooler would ask questions. I also have his new book from the library called, "Life is a Campaign." In the book he has some sterling advice for people who want to be winners at life, because, of course, politics is all around us. The book also convinces me that I relate a lot better to liberals than conservatives. Matthew's way of speaking is in a clear voice that is direct, much like the style of the late Tim Russert. After each chapter of the book, he has sayings called "The Bottom Line." The essence of each chapter is siphoned down to one paragraph. One of my favorite chapters so far is the one that warns, "Not Everyone is Going to Like You." He presents some good examples in the book about why this philosophy works at home and at work. There are also examples of how Bill Clinton and more of Matthews' heroes were not stunned and sidelined by their detractors.
Check out "Hardball!!"
btw....Chris had a ball with this one last night, Sarah Palin being booed at a hockey game in Philly!
Have a great day. Enjoy the fall weather :)
