Don't Make a Habit of Negativity

Dale Carnegie said, Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain -- and most do. According to him, when a person criticizes, condemns, and complains, he is making the public declaration, I am a fool. Obviously, there are times when it is legitimate to do any of these, but when we do these together or habitually, our folly is revealed. We should bear in mind we are all vulnerable to such humiliation. Fortunately, Carnegie has given us a way to avoid this: Don't criticize, condemn, or complain.
