Laughing with people is an Upper.

I had an interesting e mail the other day after returning from APTA CSM in Vegas. I wish to share this simple thought with you as it is import to remember, especially if you have kids in your life. Here it is backwards (I am ADHD so backwards is reasonably easy for me).

Louis Says: Ken good to see you. I never laugh at anybody, but I love to laugh with everybody.

Ken Said: My trip to the lab has been delayed (again!) until Friday. As soon as Dr. Powell has it up and working I will do a ‘Ken’ version of a Pro Fitter exercise just so you can see the concept. Please don’t laugh at my balance on the ProFitter. If you like the teaching tool we will plan a follow-up. (P.S. The staff now has the new fitter on a table for shoulder exercises since the old one is ‘dirty’ from the floor. Now they want three.)

My point is simple, If we laugh at people we pull them down. If we laugh with people we all pull each other up. I prefer the upper over the downer, its way better.
