2A – Daily News – Monday, August 23, 2010 Community people&events Wedding- Rogne ‘Have to’ versus ‘get to’ When you put a few middle-aged cerebral-type guys among the tall trees for a few days, the end product is what I call "intellectual camp- ing;" not much activity but a whole lot of in-depth tête-à-tête. Oh sure, we spent time in the river. Yes, there was some hiking. (Actually, "walking in the woods accompanied by heavy breathing and complaints about sore knees" would be more accurate.) But, most of the time was spent in dialogue swirling about issues pressing to men of our age. Three decades prior, such sub- jects would have been rooted in careers, women, and music. Our careers — such as they are Courtesy photo Brandon Rogne and Stacy Smith of Chico were married May 1,2010,in Chico by Lindsay Evans.

Setting it straight In Saturday’s page 9A story about drugs at Red Bluff Union High School, law enforcement described the incident as “furnished another student an unknown dangerous drug.” –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper.

We are each happily married (and therefore appreciate women in a more specif- ic sense) and although the interest in music hasn’t left us, the decibels at which it is played are lower and the beat more subtle. Therefore, most of the talk time wove hither and yon through topics of society, politics, philosophy and — since we are all fathers — children. One of us has a pre-teen boy with Downs’s syndrome who has still not learned to use the toilet. In some ways, his entire family has to live in thirty-minute segments so the young man can always be around a bathroom. My children, like most, were "potty trained" while toddlers and I found the notion of having to take care of an adolescent in that manner to be over- whelming. Yet, what impressed me was the mind-set of my friend as he talked about the rituals they've devel- oped. I’m sure he would rather not still be teaching a boy of that age how to use a toilet. In spite of that, there was neither resent- ment nor animosity. Quite the contrary, he mentioned how much he has received from his son — as well as the whole experience. He’s more patient and loving because of it. But, what stood out most in my eyes was how he phrased his responsibilities; instead of "I HAVE to help him learn how to use the bathroom;" he said, "I GET to help him learn how to use it." He explained that he has made a conscious decision to replace the "HAVE TOs" in life with "GET TOs." In that slight adjustment of language comes so much power. It might not always be easy but it is astonishingly impressive. I think that I — like many — sometimes lament my responsibili- ties instead of embracing them. From my cranky place, I grumble, "I HAVE to pay the bills," or "I HAVE to go to work." And for any- one trying to lose weight, there’s Scott Q. Marcus the perennial "I HAVE to stop eating so much." By focusing on what must begrudgingly be accom- plished instead of appre- ciating what we get for the effort, we feel at odds with the universe, rather than embraced by it. By substituting "GET" for "HAVE," the whole context can swing a one-eighty; and inter- esting enough, so does one’s attitude. "I GET to lose weight" or "I GET to pay my bills" is so much more empowering than the tyrannical "HAVE to." I GET to change my outlook. I GET to be more aware of what I say; conse- quently, I GET to be happier in the end. I got to learn that from the father of a young man with "special needs," who apparently, is quite the teacher. Isn’t it cool what we GET when we’re open to it? Scott "Q" Marcus is a THINspirational speaker and author.
