8 year olds

Do you ever just feel like you are surrounded at work by 8 year olds?

One of the biggest fallacies in life when you are " growing up " is that as adults people put aside the bickering and the clicks and talk to each other rather than about each other.

Wrong.

Once you realize that this is the world we live in and that people actually carry over with them all those teenage worries and fears and prejudices you can at least start to figure out how to maneuver around in it and work in it.

The major stress in our lives is because we get so frustrated that things are the way they are, that people do hold grudges .
 People do not always take people for their word and rather then talk it out it is easier for them to either push the ignore button or get angry and/or retaliate.

That said their are still many people that do care and will help.
The thing is as life gets hard it gets harder to take a breath and to SEE the other person.

It is the same no matter where you go, no matter what occupation you are in and what ever pay grade that you may be. It is the same all over and everywhere.

So - what do you do?

Be better then them...be the bigger person..the adult.

You will be better for it and eventually you may even move a few of them your way.

Play good in the sandbox people.
