eBook Description: Critical Choices That Change Lives is about the principles that heroes have followed for thousands of years to turn tragedy into triumph. It is a collection of stories about ordinary people whose critical choices turned them into heroes. As you read these stories, you will realize that a pattern is developing. Certain principles will begin to emerge that consistently lead to victory. History shows us that these principles have always existed. This book simply collects them into one place and organizes them in a logical fashion. These stories demonstrate that those who tend to survive and prosper in the midst of adversity are able to make critical choices that others do not--because they can see and hear options that others cannot. That's what makes them heroes. But what gives them the ability to see and hear options that others can't? The secret is how heroes answer these three critical questions. (1) What are you focusing on? (2) What do you believe? and (3) What are you expecting? These are the three questions behind almost every important decision you will ever make. How you answer these questions determines the outcome of almost every difficult situation you are likely to face. When you read these stories, you will learn how heroes answer these questions in the heat of the battle--and the tremendous impact it has on the final outcome. At the heart of the principles revealed in this book are The Seven Laws of Critical Focus.

Heroes have the ability to see the "right path" when everyone else sees "gray areas" and loopholes. We live in a world with millions of laws, codes, regulations, and ordinances. The tentacles of the law reach into every aspect of our lives including the cars we drive, what we watch on TV, what we listen to on the radio, what we see on the Internet, what we eat, what we drink, and even the air we breathe. Point out any item in your house, and I can tell you some body of law that probably affects it.

To understand the law you need a three-year law degree, and even then the best lawyers can only master one or two areas of law in a lifetime. The more laws we create, the more gray areas and loopholes we create. For example, in Washington State, two men were indicted for photographing and videotaping women's privates under their skirts in public places. The jury convicted them of violating the state's lawagainst voyeurism, which is designed to keep people "safe from hostile intrusion or surveillance." The case was appealed and the Supreme Court of Washington State reversed the convictions on the ground that, technically, the men had not violated any law. The voyeurism law didn't specifically say you could not take photographs and videotapes of women's privates underneath their skirts--as long as they were in public. Judge Bobbe Bridge wrote, "It is the physical location of the person that is ultimately at issue, not the part of the person's body." It so happened that the photographs and videotapes were taken at a public mall and an outdoor festival. This is a classic example of a loophole. There was a public outcry and immediately the legislature began drafting a new law to plug this loophole.

Okay, so we can't expect a couple of perverted renegades to exactly be looking for "the right path" to begin with. But what about ABC News? On ABCnews.com, there was a Real Player link to a video segment that showed what appears to be one of the "upskirt" shots. Did ABC use the photos of the victims to get attention and draw more viewers to its site? Was ABC just as guilty of invading the privacy of these women?

Of course, when the media does it, all kinds of First Amendment issues arise. If it's "newsworthy" it's okay, and anyone trying to stop it is accused of censorship, which is deemed unconstitutional and un-American. More loopholes.
