The thing is, we only NOTICE what's fair and what's not when we COMPARE--then we are measuring ourselves by someone else's standards instead of focusing on our personal best. Competition is sometimes immature and takes our focus from doing our best to whining that things are not fair or comparing our lives to others'.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981388823737554845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25684848.post-1151368047380568092006-06-26T18:27:00.000-06:002006-06-26T18:27:00.000-06:00Dr. Laura said that I was stupid and insecure to f...Dr. Laura said that I was stupid and insecure to feel that things should be fair. I hate it when my boys feel bad about themselves because another kid did better then them. I just tell them that they did great and if it wasn't their best, to try harder next time.

My Dad and Siste...I know where you're coming from. My Dad and Sister would want to win at any cost, even if cheating was involved. It was more important to win than anything else. I was the opposite. I just wanted to "have fun". You know, it's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game... they made me feel weak and inferior for feeling that way. I think that attitude has hurt me in business too. When somebody tries to get up the ladder, by pushing me down, I usually don't fight back. I just think... "do your job the best you can, and treat everyone with compassion, fairness, etc..." I will even keep quiet if it means I spare somebodies feelings, or not get them "in trouble" as long as it's not illegal. Yet people have no problem "selling me out". I keep thinking that in the end, I can live with my actions, can they? But they stay in their jobs and I am looking for a new job...and end up in Texas.Happy Gilmoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107874554750378940noreply@blogger.com
