A very successful young woman treated all who worked under her like they were less than. She was mean and did not care who she hurt with her demanding haughty demeanor and words. All the office workers talked behind her back and everyone was in on letting each other know when ‘her highness' arrived in the office.

Richard: It really is Richard... and that's how we find out who the people are....behind their words.
Andrea: At least you are sensitive and being aware or thinking about if you've crossed the line. Some are oblivious. Remember...when you say 'that's just me' it means there is no room for change.
Carole: I truly believe that. I have known some people for over a year and they gradually changed into .... fire blowing out of their nostril dragons burning everyone they cross paths with along the way. I (as many others) experienced some grief and suffering although it takes one who wants to move on...to forgive and get out of the victim stance mode. In that respect we remember where we came from and proud of what we become. The others keep hurting and covering up with material or other things that are OUTSIDE of self. No void filled with a good sense of self and healthy relationships with others.
Okay, folks...coffee kicking in lol!
Jennifer: It sure is. I like people like Bill Gates. Suttle, Humble and quite successful. Giving back is another good quality of his. Funny though, he doesn't have to toot his horn all over the place and say 'see how great I am'.
Katerina: Everyone has issues...it's all in the manner of how they handle it.
Gary: Thanks...it becomes a meaningful flick when there's a lesson to be learned in it :)
Susan: There is nowhere else to go but to have patience. That's not to say I would consider these types my friend. Nope. When people continue to hurt others around them without awareness of how they affect others...it just tells me one thing. They are not real nor true. Sad.
Carole: Oh, yes. It's all over Carole. That's just it. It's only stuff. The house burns down and they wreck the car. And left with ...nothing and no one. And still sitting there wondering...why.
Paddy: Success comes from inside. No matter how much money, transactions or fame nothing can replace a shining from the inside out individual who need not brag or boast but just be themselves. I like people like that. :)
Gary W: It is common place in this world...but will not be a part of mine. I put up big barriers and walls for people like that :)
My lil bro: Timely indeed. You see the same things little brother. Indeed. We are born and we die. What is done in between is what REALLY matters. We choose our own paths (obviously) and I choose not to affect others around me in a negative way. I am pretty smart for a big sister aren't I? lol!
Dorie: Oh yes....fewer would be nice lol
Greg: Chap your hide. hmmm is that like a thorn in your butt? lol. Me too :)
Jeff: A great lesson indeed buddy. I always try to give a message that some may learn. Unfortunately, the ones we speak of are clueless, oblivious and are unaware.
OK so here's my 2 cents worth. I am a very observant person and have been watching some of this unfold over the last few weeks. Maybe just maybe people don't realize what they are doing because the intent is not there. Intent is everything in this world. We ALL have little "thingies" that others may dislike. It's my opinion that a person cannot be rude or condecending if they don't realize they are being that way. Make sense?
Being careful about how we act and what we write about works both ways.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. Approach the person you are having these thoughts about and give them the benefit of the doubt. In it's own way this post is doing exactly what you are against.
No one can cause another to be affected in a negative way. Negativity is an emotion. Only we can control our emotions.
Sally,
What a great post. I am blessed starting a new group and some great bloggers to grace my page.
I didn't know Jason was your brother.
BB: You were right on one count. Being careful about how we act and what we write about works both ways. I did make a call to one person ...thanks for the advice. It's one person whom I know to be soft spoken so good we got to talk. I beg to differ on my post. It was meant to hopefully get out a message to many...not just one. In that...you made a mistake. And positivity is an emotion as well. Learning lessons for all I believe. :)
Terry: Thanks...and he's the little brother I didn't have before... :)
Sally that type of success is not success in my book, and something that I can do without. Stepping on others to elevate yourself is a poor way to live, and only leads to being stepped on in the future.
OK cool. My apologies if I read too much into it. I'm the new AR hall moniter :) Hey where's Randy been?
George: I see it every day...online offline and right in my face in business and real life. Sometimes it's a great reminder in how we live day to day...to be mindful of others around us and how we portray ourselves :)
BB. No problem. You try :) Randy is VERY busy ....I help him too :)
Sally -- I really liked your post -- and appreciated the way you wove the movie synopsis into the point you were making. I remember the old saying be careful on the way up, you never know who you'll meet on the way down - it's similar to what some have said. But really whether one is 'up' or 'down' going somewhere or not, I believe it is about how we do the journey. My hope is that when I am gone, people will say that for the most part, I was gentle and kind on my way, and when I missed it, or lost it - that I worked to get back on track. I also realize from the comments that I must not read enough blogs. I hope what ever it is, it has been resolved.
I loved it as well. A positive leader is a long term succesfull one. Positive lasts the test of time.
Hi Sally! How inspirational! I'm with you, I'd rather leave a positive legacy by living a life that does not diminish the value of others' lives but, builds upon it--helping others shine is my mission, certainly not bringing them down!
Have a wonderful week...
Alexsandra: It wasn't an 'issue'. If you've read enough of my posts here you'd see every once in awhile I get a bug up my behind to kick me in to learning mode :) Being kind will always be for me to be gentle with others while not enabling them to continue on a path of destruction....sometimes, reading a post can help MANY. :)
Terry: It sure does!
Debe: Me too. I liked your last post. Though the news is bleak I still want to have hope and be an inspiration to those that feel that their lives are worthless. No life is worthless.
This sounds like one you wrote a long time ago....and I know I wrote one my first few months on AR...amazing how many people forget how what they write affects others ;)
Kathy: That's why we write and set out little reminders. No matter what some may think...this is a real estate network. Did you go to realestatewebmasters.com yet? I really like that. They even zapped me for copying and pasting a post of mine from here to there. Makes me work harder but all original stuff. :)
No haven't had time to take on anymore networks....the ones I have keep me busy enough :) Good moderating is key to keeping a clean sandbox :)
It has always amazed me that "success" can be found by many different people. Take the person that is constantly negative, always complaining and always a bummer to be around. Im sure we all kno w somebody that fits thisrole. Or the person that isn't willing to change and accept a new partner or willing participant. One would think that all of these traits wouldn't lead to any kind of success whatsoever, but amazingly I find it time and time again. Then you have the people that are just nasty. rude and downrightmean. It boggles my mind that they can find any form of success in their life. After-all aren't we born knowing two things...
1. Dont stick your finger into a light socket
2. Be kind and do unto others.
Kathy: Exactly.
Dave: It's one thing to take a risk...anther to gain experience and trust. I won't ever stick my finger in a light socket...because I know...and trust that it will not be a pleasant experience. :)
Hi Sally, I loved that movie too by the way! And your point is very valid; we should all watch what we say or write whether it's online or in person. I try to be an encouragement to others, not to bring them down. I believe you can rise to the top without trampling over everyone.
Have a great day,
Anne Rains
