I AM...

I am whatever YOU think I am until YOU get to KNOW me. This is true for everyone else too, of course.. so don't make assumptions about anyone or pass judgment; ask questions. You might just make a new friend.

"YOU ARE A GOOD WORKER"

‘I just want you to know who I am’, is the theme for a popular song. Few are able to express see who they really are let alone others, so imagine my surprise when my VP said to me "you are a good worker" the other day. 

I had written about him before and while I've learnt to work with over the past 3 years to hear him say something like that to me surprised the heck out of me and I must admit that it is nice to be recognize for the good that you.

I want to share these words to encourage you and myself to NEVER allow the world and outside forces to stop us from being human and doing good.

Even though

Even though your morning may not have been productive, there is still much you can accomplish in the afternoon.
Even though you've suffered some setbacks, there are still plenty of options for moving forward.
Even though you may disagree with what someone has to say, you can benefit greatly from understanding that person's point of view.
Even though you find yourself in difficult and challenging circumstances, there is much value for you to create.
Even though you may feel like quitting, you have what it takes to keep going.
Even though the goal seems far away, every step brings you closer.
Even though there are plenty of reasons for you to feel sorry for yourself, you can choose instead to renew your determination and enthusiasm.
Even though your path is filled with obstacles, you can truly enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from successfully moving beyond each one.
Even though darkness may at times surround you, your light can shine more brightly than ever.
Even though you may occasionally grow weary, there's always a way to renew and re-energize yourself.
Even though the road has its twists and turns, the journey is worth the effort. Keep going, keep growing, keep learning and loving and living with all the richness your precious life deserves.
— Ralph Marston

That's the best he could fking come up with?.. especially since you didnt rat his ass out to his wife? 4 whole words.. was there an exclamation point at least?? Sorry dude, I think you (and I) deserve better.
