THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

When I was younger I had no problem telling people off and arguing, in fact, I am still a Super-Pro to this day. But with wise old age settling in, I've started slowing down in the mouthing off act. I got sick of arguing people so I just turned away and ignored them. Saved me time and headache. How I decided to stop was to look at them and think, "WOW! I'm glad that I'm not that angry of a person. They must be real miserable to be that much of an ASS!" It worked great though I was still annoyed by them. So I decided to be nice to everybody and took note. The people who were jerks and unhappy in their life I friended and because they had alienated everyone else they were exceptionally nice to me. True one guy did buy me Monster energy beverages everyday but that's not why I did it. It did feel good though to be appreciated, so I recriprocated by being his friend.

Well today I had this incidence where a co-worker was checking my parts and came to me and told me to be careful because I forgot to pack 1 part. He wasn't the Mega-douche he usually was about it, but he was pretty snarky about it. I thought a quick second and looked. The current box I was packing parts in had the lable stuck in it in such a way that was different than how I did it. Then I looked at the clock and realized that I had been on break and that J had started that box. So I asked him, "Did you start this box?" He admitted so, so then I asked him, "Did you finish that box?" Of course he claimed that one too. Then I asked, "WHO forgot a part?" He appologized and walked away.

This got me thinking, it's all about ATTITUDE and how you HANDLE THINGS. This has worked very well many times in my life. I changed my attitude, I get what I want and I'm no longer hateful. I've come to learn that MISERY breeds HATE. Most people believe the exact opposite. That's not always the case. Life is full of ups and downs and when you have too many downs it starts to deterioate ones self-esteem. They begin to hate themselves and since they are unhappy with themself they become unhappy with with everybody else too. So really it's not a lot to ask to try being good natured and to help people because it comes back around when you need it most.
