I would also add to the happiness one if you look for it in other people AND other things... the Buddhists are right on, with that one. <BR/>I will have to continuously remind myslef of being my own worst critic. I am a perfectionist and so that's a hard one.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, he was BCF. Glad you were able to work through it. Not fun when you are experiencing it, though. But great to know you weren't off target. Guess that's where the first part of his comment is apropos.. Be true to yourself. <BR/>And that's why it's so important to be constructive with one's criticism of others.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-70146093969830135682007-04-07T16:16:00.000-04:002007-04-07T16:16:00.000-04:00On a serious note, I signed on to a start up last ...On a serious note, I signed on to a start up last fall and for awhile felt that my approach was wrong, I did start to question my abilities as a situation similar to your own developed with a co-worker. But guess what I stuck to my guns despite misgivings and have since been proven correct. Criticism does hurt, the venomous kind will always be with us.Blazingcatfurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260488914265052543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-20671691637481971942007-04-07T16:06:00.000-04:002007-04-07T16:06:00.000-04:00Lets not forget Doobie doobie doo, that one has ke...Lets not forget Doobie doobie doo, that one has kept me on an even keel.<BR/><BR/>Francis was a walking contradiction, fascinating guy,Blazingcatfurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260488914265052543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-28232842539175505132007-04-07T10:16:00.000-04:002007-04-07T10:16:00.000-04:00A reader tagged me a "Thinking Blogger" and I was ...A reader tagged me a "Thinking Blogger" and I was asked to tell about five blogs I read. Yours is right up there almost number one. One other blog arrives alphabetically before yours so I click there first. Yours is by far the one that I think the most after I read it. <BR/>I agree that "My Way" should be the national Anthem for most of the young people out there. Truisms,<BR/>- You are your own happiness. If you look for it in everyone else you will never be content with who you are.<BR/>- You are your own worst critic. Do your best and go to sleep knowing you did your best. Thay is always more than enough.<BR/>- If you are always needing or wanting something, you don't understand the difference between need and want. Fill your basket with the things you need and keep a list of things you want. It is the want list that keeps you working after you have met your needs. <BR/>- Smile and make the bastards wonder what you are up to.<BR/>MUDMUDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210979052443058111noreply@blogger.com
