Don't quit because of people.

That which sustained the Billy goat until it is able to grow beards is sufficient enough to continue to sustain it until death. In a sense, this job that you sometimes hate and want to walk out of was at least able to take care of your needs until now. It may not be good enough, but the ‘Sutura’ it affords is all what matters.

In fact, sometimes it’s not the job, but pointless rivalries therein, and normally fueled by colleagues who’re careless of the feelings of everyone but themselves. When they try to be like others but cannot seem to get past ‘take off’, they become resentful. Pay no attention to them; don’t fight, compete or compare yourself to anyone, it’s a workplace and not a combat zone.

In fact, no matter how awful you think your workplace encounters are, if someone else should tell you about his, I swear down you’ll wipe yours clean and weep for him. However, there is always going to be at least one positive aspect to every situation you’re in, one that you can shift your focus to. Do that and discount the nonsense going on around you, pull your energy together and work harder, knowing that there is no unending situation

I know this is much easier said than done, and like seriously, I personally get my moments of fatigue, but still, the above seems to be the only remaining option. Quitting invariably is only going to make you a musical chair contestant, because it’s the same ‘crab mentality’ everywhere. No matter where you go, jealousy and rivalry are bound to follow. Orators have talked, preachers have preached, but I think these two are here to stay unfortunately.

POSTSCRIPT - Crab mentality, according to wikipedia.org “sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, is a phrase that describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you." – Very terrible mentality.

You only get one life to live...

I’m sure some of you’ll remember my bashing of those kids who fervently trust that “you only live once” (YOLO), mostly to feed their desire ...
