The Solutions and Opportunities of Negativity

Being negative gets you into the frame of mind that effectively blinds you from solutions.

Letting a negative attitude well up inside keeps you safely away from great opportunities.

Speaking negatively about people draws a great crowd of observers that keep their distance.

Being negative helps you make great relationships with people who won’t be at their job in 6 months too.

Questioning the leadership over you, and criticizing their decisions, is a fantastic way to never worry about finding yourself as a leader on that level.

What other “advantages” do you see in regards to negativity?

    Makes you look smart, or at least you feel that way when you are negative.
    I know for myself I am very negative. Mainly because I see something that is broken and want to fix it, the problem for me is that I come across as a know it all because I am always picking at something. Unfortunately for me, things are always broken never fixed.

    Negativity means that your colleagues have to brief new people on the best ways to handle working with you. Negativity means you get to spend more time in Purgatory when you die – wait, wrong blog.
