Quote #1:

“Nine out of ten Americans believe that out of ten people, one person will always disagree with the other nine.” ~Colin Mochrie

I know I’ve brought up this quote before, but it works on so many levels. Obviously, there’s the humor aspect. I’m sure many of you have seen the gum commercials where the fifth dentist, before he can reply “yes” to the gum having benefits, is bitten by a squirrel, or you may have seen the other related commercials.

But it also works on the “don’t take things for granted” aspect. There will always be someone who doesn’t like you. There will always be someone who tries to ruin things. And there will always be someone you can’t convince. Getting 100% of people to agree on anything is extremely difficult. So don’t ruin your relationships trying. For instance, many companies in their quest to expand their base forget about the fans they have, and then end up alienating them. There’s nothing wrong with extending an olive branch or spirited debate, but be proud of the people by your side.
