Start with a Simple Thought

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment." -Marcus Aurelius

Really, it is hard to do... but doable.

The Company "Suck-Up"

I cant help quoting this statement I read over the newspaper

"There is one in every company. You know the type - they have their lips perpetually planted on the management's boots. Typically, this path is taken because the person has very little to offer. They become the undeserved, go-to person at the expense of their co-workers and all levels of management between themselves and their new best friend."

...add value.
