These are hard truths some people have a hard time facing. It's not always black and white, either. The same person who once embraced and lived these truths can also swing the other way and encounter seemingly insurmountable defeat. That is the true test. Thank you for sharing.

You are very right Dans. Different people have different destiny. Some will have to go through more than others, some journey are a hell lot tougher than the rest.

I’ve seen this phenomenon play out many times in my life. Those with bad work attitudes never lasted long. It might be due to compensation complaints, gripes regarding customers who either had a lot of questions or were unable to understand what was told them or the unfortunate ability to bring problems from home into the workplace but it didn’t matter in the end.

They were bad for office morale in addition to being unable to see the better side of things.

It is rather common, I find myself doing many of these negative things too, but reading all the positive examples gives me the light and allow me to be aware what I was doing.
