I once was called “Manny the Moaner,” in a previous life. I would call the office to complain about the hotel where I was staying, classroom conditions and just general lamentations. It taught me an invaluable lesson: Some people just don’t appreciate good complaining.
This was all before I became such a knowledgeable, interesting and admired person, of course. Seriously though, I did realize that negative people are tiresome and others run when they show up. That is why I am always so positive now. Remember that attitude is a choice. Eliminate the negative since it is unproductive and gives you poopy nicknames. In summation: Be positive.
By the way, my poker nickname is mannyDmoner and my twitter name is @mannyDmoner. Yes, the spelling is correct. It is a cool misspelling, don’t you think?
Post your thoughts in the comments below, and let me know what you want me to Moan about next.
