Inspired by something that happend yesterday.
My posting was as follows: “What happened was that I discovered someone that I thought was a great person and a friend was actually a phony. I only discovered it when tough times called for tough decisions and they tried to be greedy, deceptive and manipulative. They tried to look out for themselves by double-crossing me and it honestly saddens me to see them resort to that. The saying ” When the grass gets short, you see the snakes” is pretty true. A sad reality of business is that people like that often are the ones who succeed – but I wont let it infect my ethics one bit. Thats not how I live my life and its not how I do business. Thanks again.”
Have any of you had similar experiences?
The fact of the matter is that wearing your heart on your sleeve will sometimes get you burned – and it might happen often. Im a big believer that being nice and willing to help is not something that should ever be scolded or even hampered by a bad experience. There are alot of miserable people out there, and misery loves company. They want to make people around them miserable and will spread negativity like the plague.
Be true to yourself, be who you want to be, and be proud of it.
The world doesnt need pessimists or destructive personalities. It needs strong minded individuals that are willing to be themselves and move forward with their lives.
You dont always need to be helping others, but atleast help yourself.
Cheers
