You see it all the time - people calling for more compassion, more understanding, we have to help, etc. It’s mostly bullshit. Truth is people don’t want to be dragged down by your problems. That may not be what you're trying to do but if you're not careful that's how you'll come across.

Knowing this helps maintain the crucial positive attitude because you'll not be disappointed when someone offers you some cheap inspirational quote, says screw you or, worse, says nothing at all. You have to be strong and try not to take it personally. You have to find a way to keep your chin up no matter what.

ATTITUDE!
