I Hate This Quote
I hate that this quote/statement is kinda true. Another thing I hate about it is that it could be taken up by some as meaning that we must just accept our lousy circumstances and just be happy. Bull. Making the most of what one has, being positive in the face of massive challenges – that’s one thing, and it’s good. But having no aspirations, no vision, no goal – that’s another. Let’s not go there.
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass
it is about learning to dance in the rain.
In a job hunting context – do we just give up and accept that to be happy in our job is unreasonable. We just have to knuckle down and take the whipping. Drudging along.
Coping with a temporary bad situation (“dancing in the rain”) is fine. But to not have a plan, a goal, a vision of something better and quietly, determinedly (is that a word? but you know what I mean) making it happen is actually what we should be doing. Right?
