But people with negative outlooks on their jobs, are hopeless as far as finding fulfillment and pleasure in what they do. People's negative outlook on their "agonizing" jobs causes them to look only for the negative things and reasons why they should be doing something else instead of finding the positive things about their job that makes them happy. It is more common to hear someone say, "Kill my boss?

In all situations in life, we all have a choice. Instead of complaining about areas of work like hours or pay, one should view it as Benjamin Franklin did when saying, "A penny saved is a penny earned" (Ben Franklin pg.
