Carnegie's Advice

I feel that these guidelines will always be in effect. Though we are more encouraged to speak our minds when we feel things aren't right in the workplace, we are still not encouraged to complain about every detail that bothers us. It is important to roll with the punches in some cases in order to show superiors that you are able to function well under duress. Also, as the saying goes, it is much easier to attract flies with honey. It is important to remember that most people will respond better to positive attitudes and kindness than negativity and harsh demands. While I do not feel that sucking up is an effective means of achievement, I do feel that appreciation for co-workers and superiors will take you farther than a handful or complaints and demands.
