Suck it Up

If you are one of those wimps out there that is always complaining about something, STOP. You my friend cannot be an epic man. A real man will work and go about his business without complaint. A real man will be prepared to move past any obstacle or challenge he may face; and he doesn't do it while whining the whole time like a lesser man.

While at work the other day a co-worker of mine started complaining that my team wasn't doing his job enough. As a gentleman, I informed him that the task he was speaking of was in fact not my team's responsibility and that is was his responsibility to get his own work done. Well he didn't appreciate that and complained that my team (a group of four elite specialists) was worthless and that we should not be employed if we couldn't handle our job along with his. This didn't sit well with me. I am a man who is slow to anger, so I left him with a smile and a sound piece of advice, "if you stopped standing around all day you would have plenty of time to do your job".

My coworker and I get along very well and we are friends, but complaining about your responsibilities is just childish and in no way manly. So My Friends, go to work this week with this, work hard and leave nothing unfinished, work with integrity, and never with a "woe is me" attitude.
