In that time I made it a point to teach the idea, "It is never about intent - it's all about perception." I can't tell you the number of times that I miss communicated something or the person I was talking to didn't quite hear me. I always has to say, "That wasn't my intent." Friends, it's all about PERCEPTION!!.<br /><br />In his latest blog, Phil Cooke puts this philosophy in perspective with regards to the current political culture. I urge you to read his <a href="http://www.philcooke.com/republican_party">blog</a> today.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1609414225628645361-8393648413838020905?l=mikesshownotes.blogspot.com'/></div>Mike Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04838239965825820554noreply@blogger.com0
