Positivity Defeats Negativity
Positivity defeats negativity. This is one of my favorite pieces of advice to anyone. Being a positive programmer and ignoring negative thoughts and comments that people make will benefit you.
Here’s a example of a typical experience that I’ve encounter more than one occasion:
- A Overheard Conversation: He’s stupid blah blah.
- Another Conversation: Someones complaining about me being positive.
- Yet Another Conversation: He’s Strange.
I’ve come to the conclusion that people will complain about anything for whatever reason they feel like. Maybe they are unhappy with there current position. Maybe they feel better about themselves when they put down a easy target (The strange guy, the single guy). They have personal issues that go beyond putting down a coworker.
I don’t have time at work to put down anyone. I’m a positive person and will always remain positive. Any time I have heard something negative I have thought many more positive thoughts. Truly one positive thought will defeat many more negative thoughts.
