“Send Coach John a message”It's story time with Uncle John, I mean with Coach Daly. I've recently been reading “Hurdleᐤisms - Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball” by Clint Hurdle.  Find more connections to Clint HERE.   Find the book HERE. This gem comes from Hurdle-ism 16 -(pg. 68)  “I'm Just Trying to Be a Simple Person in a Complex World!”  We are in a complex world for sure. In fact, during my 60 years on this planet - I can speak for myself that this is the most complex time during my lifetime. I like how he connects so many different connections in this passage to trying to “take care of the tasks in front of me one by one.”  I need to do a much better job on simplifying the way I approach life in general, but for sure - my life! This helps all of us (me for sure) to ride the waves of the ups and downs of life, which I have been trying to do for a long time. I hope it helps you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Snowstorms to Scholarships: A Medical Student's Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-02-12-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Hófúvás verte a sátorlapokat, miközben a szél zúgása körbejárta a hóborította mezőt.En: Snow gusts battered the tent flaps while the roar of the wind swept around the snow-covered field.Hu: A terepi kórház, ideiglenesen felhúzva ezen a zord téli tájon, élénk tevékenységek helyszíne volt.En: The field hospital, temporarily set up in this harsh winter landscape, was a site of lively activities.Hu: Bence, a szorgalmas orvostanhallgató, épp egy beteg állapotát vizsgálta az egyik sátorban.En: Bence, the diligent medical student, was examining a patient's condition in one of the tents.Hu: Az arca koncentrált volt, de fáradtság érződött a tekintetében.En: His face was focused, but fatigue showed in his eyes.Hu: Réka, a tapasztalt ápoló, odalépett hozzá.En: Réka, the experienced nurse, approached him.Hu: "Bence, sok új páciens érkezett," mondta aggódva.En: "Bence, many new patients have arrived," she said worriedly.Hu: "Nagy szükség van rád.En: "You're really needed."Hu: " Bence bólintott, bár fejében csak a közelgő vizsga járt.En: Bence nodded, though his mind was preoccupied with the upcoming exam.Hu: A záróvizsgák az orvosi kar legnehezebb állomásai voltak, és a várva várt ösztöndíj elnyerése mindent megérne neki.En: The final exams were the toughest hurdles at the medical faculty, and winning the coveted scholarship was worth everything to him.Hu: A vizsgálatok során Bence elmerült a betegek állapotának elemzésében.En: During the examinations, Bence was immersed in analyzing the patients' conditions.Hu: A betegek között volt Marcell is, az egykori futballista, akit lábtörés miatt kezeltek.En: Among the patients was Marcell, the former football player, who was being treated for a leg fracture.Hu: "Hogy van ma, Marcell?En: "How are you today, Marcell?"Hu: " kérdezte Bence.En: Bence asked.Hu: Marcell mosolyogva válaszolt: "Jobban, köszönöm.En: Marcell replied with a smile, "Better, thank you.Hu: A múlt héten nehezebb volt.En: Last week was harder."Hu: " Később Bence visszatért a jegyzeteihez.En: Later, Bence returned to his notes.Hu: Megpróbált tanulni, de a betegek folyamatosan érkeztek, és a sürgős esetek nem vártak.En: He attempted to study, but the continuous arrival of patients and urgent cases couldn't wait.Hu: A dilemma nőtt Bence szívében: tanuljon vagy segítsen?En: The dilemma grew in Bence's heart: study or help?Hu: Most fontosabbnak tűnt, hogy a jelenben cselekedjen.En: It seemed more important now to act in the present.Hu: Ahogy a nap az ég aljára süllyedt, váratlanul megérkezett egy újabb betegáradat.En: As the sun dipped below the horizon, an unexpected influx of patients arrived.Hu: Az orvosok és ápolók feszített tempóban dolgoztak, és Bencére is nagyobb teher hárult.En: The doctors and nurses worked at a relentless pace, and Bence faced a heavier burden.Hu: Az idő sürgetett, és a helyzet válságosra fordult.En: Time was pressing, and the situation turned critical.Hu: Előlépett, hogy több feladatot vegyen át, bízva a tanulmányaiból nyert tudásában és a gyakorlati tapasztalatban, amit az itt töltött idő alatt szerzett.En: He stepped forward to take on more tasks, trusting in his knowledge from studies and the practical experience gained during his time there.Hu: A reggel első sugarai áttörték az éjszaka sötétjét, amikor végül lecsillapodott a zűrzavar.En: The first rays of morning pierced the night's darkness when the chaos finally subsided.Hu: Bence megállt, fáradtan, de elégedetten.En: Bence stood tired but satisfied.Hu: Az orvosok és a személyzet is elismerően nézett rá.En: The doctors and staff looked at him approvingly.Hu: Réka odament hozzá, enyhén megveregetve a vállát.En: Réka came over, gently patting his shoulder.Hu: "Bence, ezt nagyon jól csináltad," mondta mosolyogva.En: "Bence, you did very well," she said with a smile.Hu: "Mindenki látta, milyen elkötelezett és tehetséges vagy.En: "Everyone saw how dedicated and talented you are."Hu: " Bence megkönnyebbült, és bár tudta, hogy a tanulás miatt aggódnia kell, a bizalom benne növekedett.En: Bence felt relieved, and although he knew he had to worry about studying, his confidence grew.Hu: Aznap este az egyik felügyelője, aki a vizsgáztató bizottság tagja is volt, odaült mellé.En: That evening, one of his supervisors, who was also a member of the examining committee, sat down next to him.Hu: "Lehet, hogy nem tanultál annyit, amennyit szerettél volna," kezdte a felügyelő, "de olyan tudást mutattál, amit nem lehet könyvekből megszerezni.En: "You may not have studied as much as you would have liked," the supervisor began, "but you showed knowledge that can't be gained from books.Hu: Megérdemled az ösztöndíjat.En: You deserve the scholarship."Hu: " A hó csendesen hullott, elmosva a fárasztó nap nyomait.En: The snow fell quietly, washing away the traces of the tiring day.Hu: Az égbolt feketéje alatt Bence ráeszmélt, hogy a siker nemcsak a tanulásból, hanem az igazi élettapasztalatokból is származik.En: Under the black sky, Bence realized that success comes not only from studying but also from real-life experiences.Hu: Boldog volt, hogy figyelemmel és szeretettel segíthetett másokon.En: He was happy to have helped others with attention and care.Hu: És ez volt a legfontosabb tanulság.En: And that was the most important lesson.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great recipe for living a great life. It has 3 parts, which for me is easy (still tough for me) to remember and connect with. This gem comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it reminds me of going after and building a “great” life that is made up of my definition and not so much of what the “world” says our life should be made up of. Awesome quote here: “The only way to achieve greatness in life is to have patience, consistency, and discipline.” -  David Goggins (who wrote a powerful book, “Can't Hurt Me” which I read last year).  This is connected with a few other items that have been on my mind and heart that I want to share in a few future episodes.  Those 3 items of patience, consistency and discipline are things that I have been connected with and sometimes focused on - but usually not connected together and not as deep as I need to be focused on. Again, intentional focus is something that I need to connect with these 3 items for sure!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found first thing this morning a post shared from a favorite person of mine, Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) who is again, someone I connected with online and not in person… yet.. Who knows, maybe someday I will get a chance to meet face to face.  Mark shared some thoughts before his post - “We have no idea what anyone is really dealing with. We have no idea of the battles they have faced & are still facing. Everyone is going through something so why not be kind. Why not offer compassion & gentleness knowing that we have no idea what someone is really going through.”  This hit me hard as this morning, only after seeing some things online for 10 minutes or so, I got really sad and down as to what people continually do and say to others that simply don't do any good at all for anyone. I'm thinking about what Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) says all the time. The people spewing out all of the hate, negativity, anger, blaming others, etc., are all simply showing the pain and anger they are trying to deal with in their lives. It's really a look into who they are, what they are thinking (or hiding) and they know no different as to how to deal with others. My thoughts on Mark's post was this: “Everyone … every single human being goes through tough times, battles, pain, fear, doubt, tears, etc. - To me it's the Great Human Connector to all of us! Throughout history this is something we've all had to deal with. For those always piling on, putting others down (1 of 2) - Making fun of others, intentionally causing trouble for others, causing others pain, etc.; Please figure out we are WAY more alike than we are different. View things from their perspective. All of us have been through the tough odds of even being born! It's not that difficult!” I'm continually getting down, sad, upset, even angry at all of this crud going on in our world.  I refuse to jump in and start bashing the “bashers” or spending tons of time looking up evidence to prove them wrong. I have chosen my voice and actions to make a difference with others and to try and offer hope to anyone willing to try and do the same. Life should be better than what we are creating it to be. We can (and must) do better and be better for ourselves, our loved ones and for the good of others.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found this gem from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it is a short, yet powerful thought… “Consistency is the silent engine of extraordinary results.” Every day. Every way to just keep going!!  It's one of those things that again, nobody has to know about what you are doing or how often you are doing them. Those that love you will know without you even telling them. It's a reminder to me to keep doing what I have to do every day. It's a choice to keep showing up to do the things I know I have to do. It's my honor to keep being my best in being a dad, husband, son, uncle, brother, etc. I can't take any of those roles for granted. Wow.. love this thought!  Something to carry with us wherever we go!!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I found a post from Vala Afshar (@ValaAfshar) where he shared a clip from the incredible Mr. Rogers.  See the clip HERE.  A gentle reminder for all: “We just don't get to be competent human beings without a lot of different investments from others. Think about those who have helped you become who you are today. What really matters is helping others win too.” —Fred Rogers  This got me thinking about so much that we all have connections to. The people in our lives - the ones that made a difference with me, I'm grateful for all of them. There are so many people out there that forget this fact. They are the ones that think they did a lot on their own and we all need to remember where we came from and the people that helped us and walked our pathway with us. It's time for us to keep working on ourselves so we can keep helping others win too! IT sure beats tearing others down, making fun of others and looking to do things to cause problems for others. Come on people - we all need to be better!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

#208 - A helicopter door swung open over Vietnam, and years later a trail opened underfoot across the Appalachians. That arc—war to wilderness, adrenaline to stillness—frames Ron Timmerman's rare story of brotherhood, love, loss, and the long work of healing. We invited Ron to unpack the moments that shaped him: flying Hueys as a teenage door gunner, returning with unspoken trauma, and building a life with Edie, a fierce and generous mother of seven whose faith defined their home.Ron's voice is steady as he talks about caregiving through Edie's stroke, the quiet after she passed, and the decision to hike the Appalachian Trail with his brother Rand and stepson Rick. They disagreed, found a structure that respected different paces, and in the process became closer than they'd been in decades. Along the way, the trail offered proof that meaning can arrive unannounced—a brilliant doorway of light on a bleak Father's Day, the sudden drift of “Can't Help Falling in Love” from a stranger's earbuds, and countless small moments of service that stitched the miles together.What stands out is the ethic that carried Ron through: stay busy with purpose, help others when you can, and keep faith when the map goes dark. He shares practical wisdom for navigating grief, the value of simple kindness on and off the trail, and the way Rand turned his own recovery into daily service for people who needed a voice on the line. If you're wrestling with loss, searching for direction, or simply craving a human story that rings true, this conversation offers both grit and grace in equal measure.Subscribe for more stories of resilience and connection, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find The Human Adventure.

Today I'm honoring one of my spiritual fathers , Buddhist monk Thích Nhất Hạnh, who died in January 2022. He was a peace activist, prolific author, poet, and teacher, who founded the Plum Village Tradition, and is recognized as the main inspiration for engaged Buddhism. Known as the "father of mindfulness" his words have held me through so much healing. Spiritual mothers and fathers can come from almost anywhere, not just proximity, and if you come from toxic or inadequate parents like me, this matters. We've been conditioned to avoid all suffering, to demand safe spaces externally, but the only real safety is what you cultivate inside yourself with your own inner child. Remember that breathing is the bridge between mind and body - just being is your birthright. Light and love, and I hope you enjoy this throwback episode and the lesson in it.

What has life taught you? I've known people who went through life and never ever seemed to learn life lessons. They just made the same mistakes over and over and never seemed to gain any wisdom. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him (James 1:5). Recognizing you lack the wisdom you need is step one, praying for wisdom is step two, and learning from your experiences, mistakes, journey, and from other people is step three in becoming a wise person. Here are some life lessons I'd like to pass along to you. Life Lesson No. 1: When you don't know what to do, just take the next small step. Life is full of turning points, small and large; times when you must make a decision but you're not sure about it. I'm not talking about black and white decisions, things that are clearly right or wrong. But other decisions like: Should I look for a new job? Should I offer to give this person some money? Is it time to sell my house? Of course, prayer is our first order of business when we're faced with decisions, and it's always helpful to seek advice from trusted advisors. But I've often found if I take the next small step and then see where that leads, I can usually tell whether it is the right thing or not. And sometimes I discover there really is no next small step; I would have to push and shove and maneuver to get to that next step. That's always a red flag for me that says, “Slow down; make sure this is a good step to take.” When I first believed God was leading me to begin this radio ministry, many years ago now, after praying about it for a few months, I remember thinking, “You've prayed about this for a long time now. Isn't it time for you to do something?” So, I made the first small step—a phone call that opened a door and began the process of beginning The Christian Working Woman program in August of 1984. As the Chinese proverb reminds us, every long journey begins with the first step. I think many people park-out at the starting line, thinking about what they might do, wanting to do something, but because of fear or double-mindedness, they never move. James says a double-minded person is unstable in all her ways (James 1:8). Double mindedness is that state of mind where you go back and forth and back and forth, but you never move forward! Reminds me of one of the Tater Family members. Dick Tater is the Father, but the one I'm thinking about is Hessie Tator. Hessie always intends to do something, but she hesitates and never takes the first step. You really don't want to be a Hessie Tater, so, don't be afraid to take that first step and see where it leads. Life Lesson No. 2: If you will live in today, rather than yesterday or tomorrow, you can make it! Jesus said, Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Matthew 6:30). Most of our stress and depression comes because we live either in the past, with regrets and anger, or we live in fear of the future. God gives us the strength to cope with today, but we keep adding on the past and the future and wonder why we can't make it! Yesterday is gone. You can't change it; you can't make it better. Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing (Isaiah 43:18-19). If you continually dwell on the past, you will miss the new thing God wants to do for you. Yesterday is over; let it go. Tomorrow never comes. Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday! Fear of the future absolutely will stop you from the good things God has for you. Pray daily that you will live in today, and then you'll have the strength to make it through. It's a matter of changing your attitude and thought patterns. When we are worrying it's usually because our thoughts are out of control. I've written a book about that, called Think About What You Think About, because long ago I began to realize I had to learn to bring my thoughts under control. And I still have to consciously and intentionally monitor my thoughts and recognize when they're going where they shouldn't go—and then stop them! Change them! When you're living in yesterday or tomorrow, you're often allowing your thoughts to go where they shouldn't go. Life Lesson No. 3: Pay off your credit cards every month. Financial troubles affect every area of our lives, and most people's financial troubles begin with that plastic credit card. The credit card companies make it easier and easier for us to get a card and then they do everything to encourage us to use it, and then just pay the minimum each month. That is a recipe for financial disaster. No doubt some of you are in financial trouble now because you've got so much credit card debt. What do you do? First, stop using your credit card. If you're in credit card trouble, make yourself pay cash for what you buy, and you'll be amazed at how much more frugal you will be. We get so used to pulling out that credit card; it seems so easy—and then the bill comes at the end of the month, and our eyes pop out when we see how much we owe! Look at where your money is going and eliminate those things you don't absolutely have to have. Most of us have a very poor idea of just where our money goes. A good exercise is to keep track of every nickel you spend for a couple of weeks or a month. Just write it down and add it up. You may be really shocked to see how much you spend on stuff you don't have to have. Then stop buying things you really don't need until you have paid off those credit cards. And believe me, we all need a lot less than we think we do. Credit cards are convenient, especially for travel, but I've had a rule for years that I must pay off my credit card bill every month. I just refuse to pay any interest. That puts controls on what I spend. One of the biggest favors you can do for yourself is to wipe out that credit card debt, and then pay it off in full every month. Life Lesson No. 4: Save something from every paycheck. Frankly, I have not followed this principle all my life; I wish I had. The secret is to have money taken out of your paycheck or your checking account every month—before you see it. I don't care how small it is, make yourself start the habit of saving some money out of every paycheck, and put that money in an account you don't touch. Just forget it's there. Financial experts tell us we should have six months of expenses saved up for emergencies. Now, I know it will take you a while to get there, but you'll never get there if you don't start. Make yourself begin with your next paycheck to save some money, and teach this principle to your children. Of course, giving to God is the first thing we should do with our paychecks. He should get the firstfruits of everything he has given to us. As my daddy used to tell me, “Honey, you can't out give God.” The Bible has more to say about money than almost any other topic. That's because where our money is indicates where our heart is! I promise you, if you will pray about this and get serious about getting your financial house in order, you are going to be so glad you did. It will take so much stress and strain out of your life. I encourage you to do it. Life Lesson No. 5: Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. I often remind myself people aren't thinking about me nearly as much as I think they're thinking about me! Isn't it true that we often put ourselves under unnecessary stress by just taking ourselves too seriously! We worry about what others will think of us and that can become an obsession. What others think about you is not your business, so let it go! Here's the secret: Make it your passion to care very much about what God thinks about you. Pray daily that God will grow you into the mature Christian he wants you to be. Let God's Word reveal areas in your life that need changing, and then by God's grace, work on them. Care very much about what God thinks about you. But stop worrying about what others think. Stop imagining what they're thinking or saying. First of all, you'll never please everyone, no matter how hard you try. And secondly, have you ever thought about how wrong it is to care more about what people think of you than you do about what God thinks about you? Remember, it's not all about you; it's all about God and what he wants to do with your life. Don't take yourself so seriously. Also, it's really important to learn to laugh at yourself. I've discovered when I can make a joke on myself, it relieves the tension in a situation. I remember once showing up for a speaking engagement with two different shoes on. Don't ask me how I did it; I have no idea, except they looked somewhat alike, but they were different colors and different shoes. I looked down and realized it just before I was introduced to speak, and my first reaction was to try to figure out how could I get another pair of shoes in time to avoid looking stupid. Of course, there wasn't time, so instead, I pointed out my mismatched shoes, made fun of myself, everybody laughed, it broke the ice, and everything was fine. I often find myself worrying about what I'm wearing. Did I wear this to church last Sunday? Does this look okay? And I simply remind myself if I can't remember what I wore, surely no one else can. And who cares if they do? Just let it go! There are five life lessons which I pass on to you, hoping you'll benefit from some of the things I've learned along life's way. I'll complete this next week with five more life lessons. There's a book in the Bible that is chocked full of life lessons—the book of Proverbs. I have often suggested you read a chapter a day, and since there are 31 chapters, you'll read it through every month by reading the chapter that corresponds to the day of the month. Here are just a few nuggets from Proverbs you should pay attention to: A man of knowledge uses words with restraint (Proverbs 17:27a). Avoid a man who talks too much (Proverb 20:19b). Do not let your heart envy sinners (Proverbs 23:17a). Reckless words pierce like a sword (Proverbs 12:18a). These are just a few I picked at random from the book of Proverbs. Try reading a chapter a day. I promise it will give you life lessons that will benefit you greatly.

“Send Coach John a message”I came across something from Coach AJ - Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) where he was responding to (@readswithravi) and it all connected with Coach John Wooden.  Coach AJ's thoughts were this -  “Successful people take ownership of their actions, attitude, and effort. John Wooden said, "Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses." "Get out there and whatever you're doing, do it to the best of your ability." You can't control everything - But you can control how you show up.”  All of these things got me so fired up when I read them. I know I need to be WAY better in showing up in every part of my life!! But then, I've shown up decently over the years in my life. My younger self … little 10 year old John Daly is proud of me in so many ways. He's been along for this ride for a long time!!  I need to keep it up because I know it's worth it!!  You can apply this to what you got going on!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Another gem from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson)  and he shares his thoughts about “The language of GRATITUDE!”  Check out the clip HERE.  He opens up with a very strong thought that I've never made a connection to!  If we forget the language of gratitude - we will never be on speaking terms with happiness. Focusing on the things I'm grateful for - every single day - that helps to keep depression, emotional downturns, feeling bad about myself, getting worked up about my worries and the worries of the world - they cannot exist in a grateful heart! Inky's whole thought about gratitude “recalibrates” us and puts us in the right spot to be better, do better, listen better, learn better, etc. In today's world -  I need that for sure!!  How about you??

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Winter Hike: Lessons of Care and Caution in Bükk Nemzeti Park Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-02-05-08-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Bence és Zsófi korán reggel elindultak a Bükk Nemzeti Parkba.En: Bence and Zsófi set out early in the morning to the Bükk Nemzeti Park.Hu: Az utak havasak voltak, a fák ágai alatt hó ropogott.En: The roads were snowy, and snow crunched under the branches of the trees.Hu: A tél csendje körülvette őket.En: The silence of winter surrounded them.Hu: Bence izgatottan nézett előre, alig várta, hogy elérjék a kilátót.En: Bence looked forward excitedly, eagerly anticipating reaching the lookout point.Hu: Szerette a hegyek kihívásait, de Zsófi mindig óvatos volt.En: He loved the challenges of the mountains, but Zsófi was always cautious.Hu: Ahogy haladtak felfelé, Bence véletlenül megcsúszott egy jeges sziklán.En: As they ascended, Bence accidentally slipped on an icy rock.Hu: "Semmi baj," mondta gyorsan, de Zsófi azonnal aggódni kezdett.En: "No problem," he said quickly, but Zsófi immediately started to worry.Hu: "Lehet, hogy kificamítottad a bokád," mondta csendesen.En: "You might have sprained your ankle," she said quietly.Hu: Bence csak mosolygott, és igyekezett élénkebben lépkedni.En: Bence just smiled and tried to step more briskly.Hu: Az erdőben a hó finoman hullott körülöttük.En: In the forest, snow gently fell around them.Hu: Az éles, friss levegő tele volt a fagyos téli napsütés fényével.En: The sharp, fresh air was filled with the light of the frosty winter sunshine.Hu: Zsófi néha megállt, hogy meleg teát kortyoljon, és arra is figyelt, hogyan lép Bence.En: Zsófi occasionally stopped to sip warm tea and paid attention to how Bence was stepping.Hu: "Biztos vagy benne, hogy minden rendben van?En: "Are you sure everything's okay?"Hu: " kérdezte újra.En: she asked again.Hu: Bence csak legyintett, és eltökélten haladt tovább.En: Bence just waved it off and resolutely moved forward.Hu: "El kell érnünk a kilátót naplemente előtt," mondta.En: "We have to reach the lookout before sunset," he said.Hu: "Ez az egyik legszebb hely télen.En: "It's one of the most beautiful places in winter."Hu: " Az út a völgy szélén vezetett, ahol a táj kinyílt előttük.En: The path led along the edge of the valley, where the landscape opened up before them.Hu: De ahogy tovább mentek, Bence botladozni kezdett.En: But as they continued, Bence started to stumble.Hu: A bokája egyre jobban fájt, de büszkeségből nem állt meg.En: His ankle hurt more and more, but out of pride, he didn't stop.Hu: Zsófi szemfülesen észrevette a finom jeleket.En: Zsófi shrewdly noticed the subtle signs.Hu: "Bence, állj meg," mondta határozottan.En: "Bence, stop," she said firmly.Hu: Végül leültette Bencét egy nagy kőre.En: Finally, she sat Bence down on a large rock.Hu: Ő óvatosan levette Bence bakancsát, és meglátta, hogy a bokája megduzzadt.En: She carefully removed Bence's boot and saw that his ankle was swollen.Hu: "Ez nem csak egy kis fájdalom," jegyezte meg szigorúan.En: "This isn't just a little pain," she noted sternly.Hu: "Kockázatos lenne tovább menni.En: "It would be risky to continue."Hu: " Bence nagyot sóhajtott.En: Bence sighed deeply.Hu: Tudta, hogy Zsófi igaza van.En: He knew Zsófi was right.Hu: "Rendben, elismerem," mondta bűnbánóan.En: "Okay, I admit it," he said repentantly.Hu: "Lássuk, hogyan tudunk visszajutni.En: "Let's see how we can get back."Hu: " Zsófi gyengéden bekötözte Bence bokáját, majd segített neki felállni.En: Zsófi gently bandaged Bence's ankle and then helped him stand.Hu: Ahogy lassan visszafelé indultak, Bence belátta, hogy néha jobb vigyázni magunkra, mintsem kockáztatni.En: As they slowly headed back, Bence realized that sometimes it's better to take care of ourselves than to take risks.Hu: Zsófi mosolygott, megértette, hogy Bence tanult a helyzetből.En: Zsófi smiled, understanding that Bence had learned from the situation.Hu: Bence most már másképp nézett Zsófira.En: Now Bence looked at Zsófi differently.Hu: "Köszönöm, hogy mindig vigyázol rám," mondta.En: "Thank you for always watching out for me," he said.Hu: "Fontos, hogy ne siessünk el semmit.En: "It's important not to rush anything."Hu: " Az erdő csöndjében visszafelé haladva, Bence azon gondolkodott, hogy a legnagyobb kaland néha a leginkább védett utakon található.En: As they moved back through the quiet forest, Bence thought that the greatest adventure is sometimes found on the safest paths.

“Send Coach John a message”Came across the gem that I plan on actually using later today when I go out to run some errands. It comes from TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) The intro they shared is: “Love this!” - “When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them.  It may take a second to say, but for them it could last a lifetime.”  This is so spot on. I've been trying to say things to people when I come across something that I see about them. Good service. A smile. An act of kindness that I witness them doing. A compliment to share with them. Etc., it's all something that the world needs more of. I need to hold myself accountable to do this when I go out later today.

“Send Coach John a message”Reading my every day Kindle post from John Maxwell's “Daily Reader” and this one hit home for today. It's all about "Ratchet Up Your Passion!” He starts out with a powerful question - What makes it possible for people who might seem ordinary to achieve great things?  The answer is passion.  He also shares 4 truths about passion.  One, Passion is the first step to achievement.  Two, Passion increases your Will-power.  Three, Passion changes you, and Four, Passion Makes the Impossible Possible!  This is something I tried to remind my students about all through my teaching career. It's something I remind myself about and other adults too - as it's a life-long quest to keep every day we have, somehow connected to things that we are fired up about.  All of this comes from John Maxwell's book, “The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.”  I am reminded to keep investing in myself and the things that light my soul on fire!  That's a powerful life if we can keep these things going!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Contributor: Alec Coston, MD Educational Pearls: BiPAP is often effective in severe asthma, but many patients struggle with mask tolerance due to intense air hunger–driven anxiety, often compounded by hypoxia. Benzodiazepines are commonly used for anxiety, but they can depress respiratory drive, making clinical improvement difficult to interpret (a lower RR may reflect sedation rather than true physiologic improvement). Low-dose fentanyl is a useful alternative when patients cannot tolerate BiPAP despite coaching. Opioids blunt the perception of dyspnea and are well established for treating air hunger. When carefully titrated, fentanyl provides anxiolysis without significant respiratory suppression. It is rapidly titratable (e.g., 25 mcg IV every 5 minutes). Evidence primarily comes from palliative and oncology literature, but growing clinical experience supports its use in severe asthma to improve BiPAP tolerance. Failure of fentanyl should prompt escalation to ketamine, often signaling impending need for intubation. References Pang GS, Qu LM, Tan YY, Yee AC. Intravenous Fentanyl for Dyspnea at the End of Life: Lessons for Future Research in Dyspnea. Am J Hosp Palliat Care. 2016 Apr;33(3):222-7. doi: 10.1177/1049909114559769. Epub 2014 Nov 25.

“Send Coach John a message”Mondays are great days! Early on in my life, even before I became a teacher, I tried to have a special / different connection to Mondays compared to others. Today's Daily Thought is something that I feel super connected to.  From Deep Psychology (@DeepPsycho_HQ) comes this life gem: “Don't be impressed by money, followers, degrees and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility and generosity.”  In today's world sadly, so many people are following  the first part of this. Also, the lies, greed, lack of character, lack of responsibility, blaming others, etc., that go along with this mindset. I know I'm trying to take on more of the second part of this along with; encouragement, love, empathy, character, etc., and so many other positive traits. Sad to say, I have friends and family that are living on the first part - the crumbling part of things in life as they think everything is about winning at all costs and mixing it with the political sess-pool of today. I'm reminding myself that I love them more than I hate the person(s) and things going on with them in our country today. I also know that I need to live my life, build my life and connect more of these building blocks that are built on character, truth, etc., with people and not just flap my gums at things. One of so many reasons why I really enjoy psychology, learning and reading books …. And I know I need to connect with this even more!!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Found a fired up thought from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where it's a simple & powerful reminder that I know I needed to see.  “Everything you do, comes back to you. Do good, be good.”  I need to keep doing good. Being good. Doing better. Be Better. In EVERY THING I DO! So much of my life is changing (heck, all life is changing, all the time, every single day).  But since I have a front row seat on my roller coaster in my life, these are the things I know I need to keep working on. Hopefully you see the opportunities to work on things while you are riding your roller coaster.  Remember how motivation is not permanent, that is why we need to keep working on it every day! This thought helps me for sure to do that and I  hope it offers you some help too.Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

We should start a new political party entitled "We". It would be based on the premise that we should help and care for one another. We have rights to our privacy and our public life. We have responsibilities to ourselves and to others. We would try to turn paying taxes into a bragable activity.
