I am tired of looking in the mirror and seeing what other people are telling me. Stupidity rules and according to many I am the king of the idiots. Yes, I too am one of those who considers myself stupid. I offer no excuses nor will I make apologies for how I am. To my detractors here on RP here is your chance to gang up and "get even".

Ok, sorry cut myself off too short here. Further explanation follows:

Basically what I am after is a way to stop seeing the stupidity that reflects back to me from my mirror. Should I take the mirror down, or accept the fact that what other see in me is the truth?

Open to suggestions.

Charles, there are plenty of days I wish I didn't have to see myself in the mirror. The truth is what YOU see in the mirror. Some days that truth is harder to see than others, but we need to use what we see on those days to make ourselves better in our own view. I lost my job last week and every day I look and just see "LOSER". But then stare back and remind myself I was laid off, and a new job will becoming soon (HOPEFULLY!). I started going to the gym again, I TRY to keep a PMA and turn the loser into a winner every day. Its tough but I've got to keep going. Hopefully you're doing the same!

Sir,

I realize the obstacles involved in relocating your operations center, but APG/Ft Meade have openings for your skill set. Contact me if you have any interest. I don't know about what is available in your area. As an FYI, my previous SharePoint Architect job has now sat vacant for 10 months.

MAJ Robert Petrarca, sorry to hear that! Hang in there and persevere. I strongly believe that when one door is closed, another one will open!

None of us are perfect. Accept your flaws as part of you and work to improve them....but that does not mean you are worthless. I would be more worried if you thought you walked on water and didn't see flaws when you looked in the mirror.

SEALs don't walk on water... it's just that the water's too intimidated to let them in...
