Let me take this opportunity to salute you sir, for putting your life on the line. My Dad used to be a volunteer fireman (and later Chief) at the local fire department while I was growing up. I went to many fires and accidents with him. Sometimes he’d let me push the black button beneath the dashboard that was for the siren. Imagine how much of a thrill it was for a kid to do that and watch everyone magically pull off the road to let us through!

Dealing with negative co-workers, especially those who gossip and complain are quite toxic to those of us who are trying to maintain a some resemblance of sanity. I’m glad you liked this post.

Welcome! Oh yes, the Power of Positive Thinking book really changed my life in a way I hadn’t expected. Amazing that this book continues to stay in print long after Norman Vincent Peale’s death. Timeless book, that one.

Great post! As a firefighter, I encounter a lot of negative people in difficult situations, not to mention negative co-workers. Thanks for the insight on how to handle some of those situations!

The Power of Positive Thinking is a great book! A must read for anyone looking to make a change in their life.
