Article: Complainers' negative thoughts produce negative results.(Sports Extra)

Byline: Bob Frisk

Everyone complains at some time about something.

I certainly have complained on this job. I'm also not alone as the newspaper business everywhere battles through a very difficult stage.

The right to gripe may be an inalienable right of all employees and managers.

However, nothing bothers me more than a person who constantly gripes and complains about everything, and not just job-related. They're no fun to be around.

They walk in the door and start complaining.

Whiners are irritating because they're obviously unhappy people. They can suck all the life right out of you.
