Take Care of Your 24 or Avoiding the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism

I know exactly what you are thinking: "Really, Roberts? Another headline that references quotes from Kevin Ollie and disgraced (and deceased) politician Spiro Agnew---find some original material, you hack!"

(Ease up on me, bro.)

The Michael J. Fox Foundation recently published an older blog post I wrote concerning staying positive. I truly believe that a positive attitude mixed with resiliency is a winning combination. Kevin Ollie, current men's head basketball coach at the University of Connecticut, embodies this formula. Coach Ollie had to work for everything he has earned in life and, through the process, was able to maintain his positivity and toughness. Below is a great ESPN article that clearly articulates how enthusiasm and engagement can rub off on your teammates, loved ones, and colleagues. Coach Ollie is exactly the type of high-character individual I want representing my alma mater and serves as an exemplar to the old adage, "tough times don't last, tough people do."

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
