Work In KC Area?

[Paul Taylor]

Successful people self-motivate, it's a fact.

The job market sucks yet people are hiring. Some companies will try and take
advantage of the job market others are looking for long term stable
employees.

Being negative about any situation doesn't help.

I sound like a motivational speaker, I'll be quiet now...

Great! Kick him while he's down! Wonder why he might have a negative
attitude...
