My husband and step-daughter correct me constantly; there are times when one will feed off the other. For instance, during a movie I may repeat something a character may have said only to be corrected by the both of them. After rewinding the movie we all discover that I was right in the first place. Once when I meant to say mango, I said papaya. You can’t just let me have that? Or give me time to correct myself before jumping in to correct me? It is a constant in my household. It ruins my mood and makes me feel inadequate. They’re both “know it all’s”. I’ve gotten to the point where I must assert myself to prove that a statement I made was indeed correct. It’s tiresome and annoying. It’s cringe worthy at most. I am constantly asking them not to be so quick to correct. Is it a form of mental illness? No one likes a know-it-all.

In reply to Michael Andolini.

Michael, wow what a powerful story you have. I had a similar experience with Tony – I loved Personal Power. I try to listen to his new stuff but him trying to be “cool” takes away from the message. And it’s more than just the swearing, his whole new attitude just doesn’t appeal to me. But he has millions of followers more than I do, so he must be doing something right. But to your point, it’s too bad he’s a turn off for a lot of us.

I’m very impressed with your story. I’d like to interview you at some point to hear more about it. Thanks so much for reading the article and your comment.

In reply to Rob. Rob, you are definitely not alone. There are a lot of people in your situation. I've had my share of poor supervisors throughout the years but two in particular were awful. Both would criticise for minor things and never would praise for the good things you did. Just hang in there and thanks for the comment!

I agree with you, and I’m relieved to hear other people post the same things I’m thinking about Tony’s shift in language. I grew up on the streets of a small Italian neighborhood in New York City during the 80’s, before the Lower East Side, Bowery and Alphabet City turned into Disney World. But, hearing Tony curse so much made his talk seem less “real”, it was like he was trying too hard to seem “cool”. Next thing you know, he’s going to come out in a white T-shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in his sleeve. It’s a shame because his talks were so powerful. When I first used his Get the Edge program, it was from days of searching the internet until I found his program and downloaded it from a file sharing website because I couldn’t afford to pay for his program. About a week and a half before, I had gotten released from jail with $5, a pack of cigarettes, and enough fear, guilt shame and remorse to make one seriously contemplate suicide. I was listening to a seminar of his on YouTube when I heard him say that if anyone in the world has accomplished a goal that was a mere dream of ours, then anyone else can produce the same results, just by modeling them, because we all have the same nervous system, and I BELIEVED HIM. It made sense, and I had a sudden and overwhelming spiritual awakening. I listened to that seminar over and over for the next 2 weeks until I was able to find his 7 day Get the Edge program on a file-sharing site. Because of Tony Robbins, I went back to school, starting at a 2 year Community College using a grant for survivors of the World Trade Center attacks. I was 38 yrs. old, and terrified.. My grades were mediocre in high school, so I was had high anxiety because I had to take a remedial algebra clas and chemistry class prior to staring my curriculum. To make a long story short, I carried a 4.0 GPA, was inducted into their School of Honors and was hired by the college as a chemistry tutor. From there, Tony had enabled me to demand more of myself than anyone could ever expect, and I got a full academic scholarship (upwards of $75,000 per year) to NYU. I had the privilege of studying brain development at NYU’s School of Medicine, study human evolution under a world renowned Anthropologist, work under a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the NYU Child Study Center, who has left major contributions to our field and is well revered by anybody who’s anybody in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology. Everything Tony said was true. Obviously, I didnt all of a sudden become extremely intelligent and blessed in terms of academia, but my core belief systems had programmed me to believe that the only successful people to emerge out of the neighborhood I grew up in were mobsters. If anyone other than Tony Robbins were to tell me that I would fully grasp Einstein’s theories of relativity on first reading, comprehend the physiology of the human nervous system with ease, and have the morals and standards of a man that was able to walk away from a life of organized crime and do a complete 180 degree shift to mold and shape myself into the man that my, now, 9 year old daughter knows: a learned, respected, and published Child and Adolescent Psychologist. If my first exposure to Tony Robbins was the seminars I’ve seen where he tries to make his cursing sound natural and fluent, he would have seemed like someone who was trying to make people believed he grew up in the same environment that I had (a physically and mentally abusive household), and would have seen him for a con artist that needed to spend some more time in my neighborhood because he wasn’t fooling anyone…. He would have been a person I had no desire to model, but he spoke in a way that I saw a man who had a rough upbringing like myself, but was able to defy the odds and not become just another statistic; he made something of himself, and he wasn’t handed anything, he used whatever resources he could and, with integrity, became everything I always wished I could be. And i wanted nothing more than to be just like him.
please excuse any grammatical errors, I didn’t have a chance to read through my post yet….
