Who are you and how do others view you? Are you the type of person that people love to be around, or are you the person that only finds relevance when putting someone else down? Do people relish time spent with you as a positive uplifting experience or do they dread every second with you? Do you find the best in every situation or do you consider yourself a victim at every juncture?

The choice is yours, how you conduct yourself and how the world views you.  No amount of badmouthing will bring an honorable person down and no amount of puffery will make a decent human being out of a louse.
