For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, I think positive thinking is the reaction. Notice that the most enthusiastic consumers of positive thinking books, audio, seminars, etc. are people involved in sales. This, I think, is the most telling symptom that sales is a hell job. It takes hours and hours of positive thinking materials to bolster the psyche for yet another day in the trenches...
That's a very telling comment. I'm sure you're right.
> Ever notice how often "positive people" who call you
> too negative are just trying to sell your something?
Quinn, honey, I like your attitude. You're open to
life's possibilities.
I try to be.
But you, Daria? I hate to see a young lady give up on
herself at such an early age.
I don't consider rejecting the Dr. Frankenstein approach
"giving up".
It puts a frown on my face. And I don't like havin'
a frown on my face!
Maybe you can inject collagen into your lips in the
shape of a smile.
