Nightingale 0 #3 October 19, 2006 Is this about work projects? Instead of criticizing plans, I like to ask questions. If I'm thinking "This isn't going to work, because they're not taking X into account." I'll ask "how are we compensating for X?" You don't sound critical or pessimistic, because the questioning style has an implied acknowledgment that someone might've thought of it before you. Be optimistic when you don't see any kinks. Ask questions otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being called a cynic or a bitch should not be a concern for you because playing it smart would be a stretch for you. I'm just kidding.

McDuck 0 #9 October 19, 2006 When things get complicated and frustrating, try to remember Chris failing to say his own name at Dublin '06. That might help you find your center. Seriously, if someone can't say their own name, it's time for that person's friends to start drinking. In other words, your lighthearted approach to the rest of life is what's needed here.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

yardhippie 0 #11 October 19, 2006 I read this thread title and said "oooohh yea" Ive learned to relax and not worry as much. Tomorrow is always a new day. The past is behind us, so lets leave it there. I really dont know where anyone gets "bitch" or "cynic" in refrence to you. Cuz the words that come to mind for me are things like "goober" and "crazy". and out of all our friends I'd say im the MOST cynical. all ya gotta do is put one foot in front of the other. Everything else is just fluff.

Your pic looks like you're in your 20's somewhere, so keep hammering away, doing the best you can, and as the years slip by, you'll see you're finding a 'middle ground' and not suffering through these extremes. 359"Now I've settled down, in a quiet little town, and forgot about everything" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,457 #17 October 19, 2006 Yup, be yourself. I'm naturally optimistic, so I've learned how not to take it personally when things do fall apart. I really do mostly remember the times it went right. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
