Don't be so Negative

Why does everyone always pick out the negatives in life? Yeah we all make mistakes an will continue to do so. But you know what? If you would just focus life on the positives you might smile a little more. Some people only talk to you because of a mistake. "You know Conrad, that dropped ball in last weeks game only shows that you need to spend a little more time after practice instead of doing interviews." Okay coach, but you did realize that I had 11 catches for 242 yards too right?" It's just what humans do. Look at the media. The news is mostly just bad news. Magazines sell because of the dirt they can collect on celebs. I see it all the time as a teacher. Kids go through misery when all you do is bicker about how they screw around all the time and don't hand in work. Yeah these should probably be pointed out, but why not throw in a couple positives moments to let the kids know you're paying attention. Baseball is a great example of showing people that it is all right not to be perfect. In the Major Leagues all you have to do is hit a baseball 3 out of ten times and you are a star. If you would just hit it one more time at 40%, you become a legend. That isn't the case in the real world. If you mess up you'll get pink slipped. We all know what you can do with your pink slip... Yeah... recycle it. Anyway, try and lighten up. Show people what they are worth and help them instead of expressing "you stink" when they failed once out of 60 times. Negatives, negatives, negatives. Look in the mirror and ask yourself how many times you've been perfect. And please keep your negative comments to a minimum on this post. Lord knows I have probably spelled something wrong. But I do know I have a lot of words spelled right too. Hopefully more than half.
