Thank God it’s Monday!™ You know the folks… the ones who need to go home early because they have a hangnail. But how about you? How resilient are you when you have a hangnail? Well, we don’t care about the hangnails, but would people describe you as fragile or resilient?
Let’s figure it out.
When you lose a deal, do you A: say, “Not a problem, I’ll get the next one and I KNOW they’ll come back anyway.” B: get bummed out and lose confidence, or C: get demoralized and decide to sort your paperclips for the remainder of the day while you polish your resume?
When your boss tells you that your project missed the mark, do you A: say “Thank you for letting me know. Please tell me all the ways I can improve this because I really need to know.” B: make yet another feeble attempt at fixing it with no input because your ego is bruised, or C: spend the next 20 minutes in the bathroom crying about how unfair your boss is?
When you walk into a break room and hear the conversation stop do you think A: they must be so excited to start a conversation with me that they decided to stop their current topic, B: ask “Waz up?” or C: decide they MUST be talking about how strange I am and go home in tears.
EVEN if the dweebs ARE complaining about you, why would you let them get you down? They are simply unaware that they are displaying their lack of good character since you already know that a complaint tells you more about a complainer than anything else.
If you aren’t scoring A’s right across the board, toughen up. Be a reverse paranoid and assume that EVERYTHING is coming up roses, you actually are ON the side where the grass is greener, and everyone just wants to be YOU!
Have a great Monday!
