Hi Murrey! Good points. I agree. I've been around a lot of successful people in my life. I'm fortunate to have watched them closely in a variety of situations, both business and personal. I'm talking about people that anyone would classify as someone to respect, to look up to, someone that has achieved personal success in life by just about anyone's standards.

A common trait each of them had was a positive outlook on life. Even when faced with devastating problems, they would still seek to achieve the best outcome, whether it be handling a business matter or a personal family tragedy.

I don't like to be around whiners, or end of the world types. I don't like being around people that constantly see the negative side of things. The reason? Most are failures.

They don't solve problems. Usually, they try to bring people down to their level. Some tend to lie. Many blame others for their own failure. They sit back, watch the world go by, and take easy shots at negative situations rather than work to get better. They do not have a "can do" attitude.

That's been my experience. Consequently, I try to stay away from them. I've said that on here for years. Nothing new with my view there, and I don't mind saying it again since I feel so strongly about it.
