Independent Contractor

Be yourself, like who you are. Don't dwell on the negative, dive into the positive...

 


Words and phrases to avoid
if success, shall be enjoyed


Decks of cards can't deal
themselves, take control,
deal them yourself


My family never supported
me, excuses thrive on misery


Can't, won't, don't know how
use your mind or lose with doubts


Bored, tired I can't go on
embracing idleness
will steer you wrong


Life is a gift filled with worth
don't let bollix control your turf


Life will throw curve balls your way
catch a few, throw the rest away


We are our own best advocates
independent contractor's
designed for success...

Nicely done. I get so tired of hearing what people don't have. You build on what you have, those are your strengths. The whining is self-indulgent and non productive.

"Life will throw curve balls your way

Excellent way to put it, ~Z~, but I might add, if I may, to throw some of those curve balls back at whoever it is threw them at you, don't let them make you out to be a wuss...LOL! Peace thru the Write,
Ed & rufuz
