"Every day at least one thing makes you (and your children) smile."
- Harry Glazer
One of my close friends, attorney Harry Glazer, was telling me recently how when his kids are happy he's happy and when they're not, he's not. My wife's version of this is: "You're only as happy as your most unhappy child." I agree with both of them.

Simply stated, Republicans and men (especially entrepreneurial/ambitious/successful men) run on adrenaline (which is about power and conquest) and testosterone (which is about aggression); Democrats and women (especially those who are more about family and home than career) run on estrogen (which is about creating and building a home and family) and oxytocin (which is about connecting and bonding with people vs. competing with them).

When you are nearly completely unaware (i.e. clueless) of how you come of to other people and they pick that up, at some level they lose confidence and trust that you can be in touch (i.e. clued in) with anything. If any of this speaks to you or someone you know, I hope the following helps.

Do you have to deal with anyone who vents or lectures too much?

Why do people who consider themselves good communicators often fail to actually hear each other? Often it’s due to a mismatch of styles: To someone who prefers to vent, someone who prefers to explain seems patronizing; explainers experience venters as volatile.
This is why so many of us see our conversational counterparts as lecturing, belaboring, talking down to us, or even shaming us (if we are venters and they are explainers) or as invasive, out of control, and overly emotional (if we’re an explainer and they’re a venter).

If you or anyone you know can forward this to someone in the Executive Office or Congress, please do with the direction, "Please read this in a public setting where all United States citizens can hear the following (at the very least the statement from George Washington) and then invite a discussion about, 'What would George Washington say about the shutdown crisis?'"
