Everyone trying to be popular,how sad I say,to many Dale Carnegie courses,"How to make friends and influence people".What I got out of the course was never tell people the the truth,tell them what you think they like top hear.My thoughts are if this was a friend are they worth having.Is life a popularity contest ,or are people getting paid to get the job done.People should always be paid on result,not vision or back flips.Their are dreamers and those that get the job done.No pain, no gain
