A good thing to remember,
A better thing to do-
Work with the construction gang,
Not with the wrecking crew.
During his first day on the job, an employee asked one of his new colleagues what it was like working in this office. The seasoned employee responded with a question of his own. He asked, “What was it like working at the place from which you came?” The new recruit quickly spit out his disdain for the former place of employment. He replied, “It was a terrible job. I didn’t enjoy the work or the people for whom I worked.” The wise colleague then responded, “Well, unfortunately, I’m afraid you’ll find it pretty much the same here.” We may change places and faces, but unless we change our attitude, life will remain much the same.
