Those who seek perfection in others will find the human condition is permeated with imperfections.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Do not assume you are your own harshest critic.

Do not assume your perceptions of others are unbiased or fair or reasonable.

Do not be blinded by the worst in people.

Communication band-aids don't solve the discomfort of negative thinking.

Shape up, Man, you gotta improve your attitude!

Great advice in theory - useless advice in reality.

If you want to help people with negative thinking, think first about your own attitude, thoughts and action then learn how to improve by replacing negative thinking with new thoughts.

The optimist probably are just as wrong as the pessimists...but optimists have more fun.

Success Key: find the growth that aligns with both the pessimists’ good habits and the optimists’ interests in new things.

Common sense: easy to see in self but tough to find in others. A pessimist said that. I have no idea why.

Communication band-aids don't solve the discomfort of negative thinking.

Winners seek solutions and think of better places. Losers agonize over problems and fear uncertainty.
