An important personality trait, my opinion Options

[jgreening]

I had this thought after reading all the cry-baby threads lately and have chosen to share it.

There are a number of qualities or personality traits that people whom I admire greatly have in common. One of those qualities is the ability to gracefully address stressful situations in a productive way.

Lets deconstruct that sentence for a bit. 1. "stressful situation" - i.e. any situation where you do or SHOULD feel concerned about the outcome. 2. "address" - someone who actually engages in the issue - not simply just blows it off. 3. "productive way" - i.e. resolves the issue and maximizes the result. 4. "gracefully" - is calm, reassuring, humble, and positive in the process.

Think about the people you know who possess this ability. I would bet they are pretty good folks.

i just don't want my mind to go to mush from working on CAD all day.

haha
my mind is mush...damn that AutoCAD!

6GC is home to the people that love the 6th generation Celica, thats all.

The problem is that both sides want to prove something when theres a disagreement, and flex some proverbial muscle to prove they're right.....it's only in our nature to be like that, and we all know its true. It's because we all pride ourselves in what we do and our methods, and when people threaten that sanctuary its a matter of ego, plain and simple. Unfortunately thats not good for anyone, it drives away the parties that aren't even INVOLVED in the matter because its not something you want to be around. I had to scoot away from several threads last night just because of that reason.....it's unneccesary. Sometimes it takes the bigger man to not say a thing rather than try to get the last word in. I want to be able to sit down and read and enjoy, thats all.

When something inhibits my ability to enjoy what I love most, thats when I have a problem....its nothing personal that I'm aiming at anyone, just something that the involved parties will have to work out and stop. I want to enjoy the site, and be friends with everyone here just the same. Do you think we can all do that?

i think sometimes we need to just agree to disagree on certain things.
